gue: Remote checksum offload

This patch set implements remote checksum offload for
GUE, which is a mechanism that provides checksum offload of
encapsulated packets using rudimentary offload capabilities found in
most Network Interface Card (NIC) devices. The outer header checksum
for UDP is enabled in packets and, with some additional meta
information in the GUE header, a receiver is able to deduce the
checksum to be set for an inner encapsulated packet. Effectively this
offloads the computation of the inner checksum. Enabling the outer
checksum in encapsulation has the additional advantage that it covers
more of the packet than the inner checksum including the encapsulation
headers.

Remote checksum offload is described in:
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-herbert-remotecsumoffload-01

The GUE transmit and receive paths are modified to support the
remote checksum offload option. The option contains a checksum
offset and checksum start which are directly derived from values
set in stack when doing CHECKSUM_PARTIAL. On receipt of the option, the
operation is to calculate the packet checksum from "start" to end of
the packet (normally derived for checksum complete), and then set
the resultant value at checksum "offset" (the checksum field has
already been primed with the pseudo header). This emulates a NIC
that implements NETIF_F_HW_CSUM.

The primary purpose of this feature is to eliminate cost of performing
checksum calculation over a packet when encpasulating.

In this patch set:
  - Move fou_build_header into fou.c and split it into a couple of
    functions
  - Enable offloading of outer UDP checksum in encapsulation
  - Change udp_offload to support remote checksum offload, includes
    new GSO type and ensuring encapsulated layers (TCP) doesn't try to
    set a checksum covered by RCO
  - TX support for RCO with GUE. This is configured through ip_tunnel
    and set the option on transmit when packet being encapsulated is
    CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
  - RX support for RCO with GUE for normal and GRO paths. Includes
    resolving the offloaded checksum

v2:
  Address comments from davem: Move accounting for private option
  field in gue_encap_hlen to patch in which we add the remote checksum
  offload option.

Testing:

I ran performance numbers using netperf TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR with 200
streams, comparing GUE with and without remote checksum offload (doing
checksum-unnecessary to complete conversion in both cases). These
were run on mlnx4 and bnx2x. Some mlnx4 results are below.

We can also look at CPU time in csum_partial using perf (with bnx2x
setup). For GRE with TCP_STREAM I see:

    With remote checksum offload
        0.33% TX
        1.81% RX
    Without remote checksum offload
        6.00% TX
        0.51% RX

I suspect the fact that time in csum_partial noticably increases
with remote checksum offload for RX is due to taking the cache miss on
the encapsulated header in that function. By similar reasoning, if on
the TX side the packet were not in cache (say we did a splice from a
file whose data was never touched by the CPU) the CPU savings for TX
would probably be more pronounced.
