Subject: [PATCH] vhost: fix TCP checksum

[ upstream commit 46b7a8372d42506c6ed5e2a3940e7881090c3c90 ]

As PKT_TX_TCP_SEG flag in mbuf->ol_flags implies PKT_TX_TCP_CKSUM,
applications, e.g., testpmd, don't set PKT_TX_TCP_CKSUM when TSO
is set.

This leads to that packets get dropped in VM tcp stack layer because
of bad TCP csum.

To fix this, we make sure TCP NEEDS_CSUM info is set into virtio net
header when PKT_TX_TCP_SEG is set, so that VM tcp stack will not
check the TCP csum.

Fixes: 859b480d5afd ("vhost: add guest offload setting")
