[RFC][PATCH 1/2] net: vlan: enable GSO by default

[RFC][PATCH 1/2] net: vlan: enable GSO by default

[Shan Wei]

Currently, GSO for vlan device is off, and can't be set to on.
Although underlying device don't support TSO, we still
should use software segments for vlan device.

In vlan_dev_fix_features(), final features is decided by
features of real device and vlan_features of real device.

real_dev->vlan_features is initialized in register_netdevice()
only with NETIF_F_GRO, not NETIF_F_GSO.

So, now GRO is ok, but GSO is broken by default.

I hope you're not waiting for something from me.  If you mean for me
to seriously review and apply this patch, resubmit it without "RFC" in
subject.
