[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v2] net/enic: fix TSO for packets greater than 9208 bytes

A check was previously added to drop Tx packets greater than what the Nic
is capable of sending since such packets can freeze the send queue. The
check did not account for TSO packets however, so TSO was limited to 9208
bytes.

Check packet length only for non-TSO packets. Also insure that TSO packet
segment size plus the headers do not exceed what the Nic is capable of
since this also can freeze the send queue.

Use the PKT_TX_TCP_SEG ol_flag instead of m->tso_segsz which is the
preferred way to check for TSO.

Note that there is some more work to do on enic TSO- the header length is
calculated by looking at the packet instead of just trusting mbuf TSO
offload header lengths. The 'tx_oversized' stat is used for more than just
oversized packets- it gets rolled into 'oerrors' so doesn't matter but the
name should be changed. Some TSO tunneling support can be added for newer
hardware. These changes will come in the next relase, but hope that this
patch can be accepted in 17.11 because it solves existing customer problem.

v2: remeved extra parens, found by patchworks checkpatch, but not mine.
