net: introduce mangleid_features
Some/most devices implementing gso_partial need to disable the GSO partial
features when the IP ID can't be mangled; to that extend each of them
implements something alike the following[1]:
if (skb->encapsulation && !(features & NETIF_F_TSO_MANGLEID))
features &= ~NETIF_F_TSO;
in the ndo_features_check() op, which leads to a bit of duplicate code.
Later patch in the series will implement GSO partial support for virtual
devices, and the current status quo will require more duplicate code and
a new indirect call in the TX path for them.
Introduce the mangleid_features mask, allowing the core to disable NIC
features based on/requiring MANGLEID, without any further intervention
from the driver.
The same functionality could be alternatively implemented adding a single
boolean flag to the struct net_device, but would require an additional
checks in ndo_features_check().
Also note that [1] is incorrect if the NIC additionally implements
NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4, mangleid_features transparently handle even such a
case.
