xen: netfront: handle incoming GSO SKBs which are not CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
The Linux network stack expects all GSO SKBs to have ip_summed == CHECKSUM_PARTIAL (which implies that the frame contains a partial checksum) and the Xen network ring protocol similarly expects an SKB which has GSO set to also have NETRX_csum_blank (which also implies a partial checksum). However there have been cases of buggy guests which mark a frame as GSO but do not set csum_blank. If we detect that we a receiving such a frame (which manifests as ip_summed != PARTIAL && skb_is_gso) then force the SKB to partial and recalculate the checksum, since we cannot rely on the peer having done so if they have not set csum_blank. Add an ethtool stat to track occurances of this event.
