net/mlx4_en: Add support for inner IPv6 checksum offloads and TSO
>From what I can tell the ConnectX-3 will support an inner IPv6 checksum and segmentation offload, however it cannot support outer IPv6 headers. This assumption is based on the fact that I could see the checksum being offloaded for inner header on IPv4 tunnels, but not on IPv6 tunnels. For this reason I am adding the feature to the hw_enc_features and adding an extra check to the features_check call that will disable GSO and checksum offload in the case that the encapsulated frame has an outer IP version of that is not 4. The check in mlx4_en_features_check could be removed if at some point in the future a fix is found that allows the hardware to offload segmentation/checksum on tunnels with an outer IPv6 header.
