[PATCH] net/mlx5: fix maximum packet headers size for TSO

[Alexander Kozyrev]

The maximum packet headers size for TSO is calculated as a sum of
Ethernet, VLAN, IPv6 and TCP headers (plus inner headers).
The rationale  behind choosing IPv6 and TCP is their headers
are bigger than IPv4 and UDP respectively, giving us the maximum
possible headers size. But it is not true for L3 headers.
IPv4 header size (20 bytes) is smaller than IPv6 header size
(40 bytes) only in the default case. There are up to 10
optional header fields called Options in case IHL > 5.
This means that the maximum size of the IPv4 header is 60 bytes.

Choosing the wrong maximum packets headers size causes inability
to transmit multi-segment TSO packets with IPv4 Options present.
PMD check that it is possible to inline all the packet headers
and the packet headers size exceeds the expected maximum size.
The maximum packet headers size was set to 192 bytes before,
but its value has been reduced during Tx path refactor activity.
Restore the proper maximum packet headers size for TSO.
