atl2: Disable unimplemented scatter/gather feature
commit f43bfaed upstream. atl2 includes NETIF_F_SG in hw_features even though it has no support for non-linear skbs. This bug was originally harmless since the driver does not claim to implement checksum offload and that used to be a requirement for SG. Now that SG and checksum offload are independent features, if you explicitly enable SG *and* use one of the rare protocols that can use SG without checkusm offload, this potentially leaks sensitive information (before you notice that it just isn't working). Therefore this obscure bug has been designated CVE-2016-2117.
