virtio-net: use NETIF_F_GRO_HW instead of NETIF_F_LRO
Commit a02e896 ("virtio-net: ethtool configurable LRO")
maps LRO to virtio guest offloading features and allows the
administrator to enable and disable those features via ethtool.
This leads to several issues:
- For a device that doesn't support control guest offloads, the "LRO"
can't be disabled triggering WARN in dev_disable_lro() when turning
off LRO or when enabling forwarding bridging etc.
- For a device that supports control guest offloads, the guest
offloads are disabled in cases of bridging, forwarding etc slowing
down the traffic.
Fix this by using NETIF_F_GRO_HW instead. Though the spec does not
guarantee packets to be re-segmented as the original ones,
we can add that to the spec, possibly with a flag for devices to
differentiate between GRO and LRO.
Further, we never advertised LRO historically before a02e896
("virtio-net: ethtool configurable LRO") and so bridged/forwarded
configs effectively always relied on virtio receive offloads behaving
like GRO - thus even if this breaks any configs it is at least not
a regression.
