Now sctp gso puts segments into skb's frag_list, then processes these
segments in skb_segment. But skb_segment handles them only when gs is
enabled, as it's in the same branch with skb's frags.
Although almost all the NICs support sg other than some old ones, but
since commit 1e16aa3ddf ("net: gso: use feature flag argument in all
protocol gso handlers"), features &= skb->dev->hw_enc_features, and
xfrm_output_gso call skb_segment with features = 0, which means sctp
gso would call skb_segment with sg = 0, and skb_segment would not work
as expected.
This patch is to fix it by setting features param with NETIF_F_SG when
calling skb_segment so that it can go the right branch to process the
skb's frag_list.

commit 90017accff ("sctp: Add GSO support") didn't register SCTP GSO
offloading for IPv6 and yet didn't put any restrictions on generating
GSO packets while in IPv6, which causes all IPv6 GSO'ed packets to be
silently dropped.
The fix is to properly register the offload this time.

SCTP has this pecualiarity that its packets cannot be just segmented to
(P)MTU. Its chunks must be contained in IP segments, padding respected.
So we can't just generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation
point and deliver it to IP layer.
This patch takes a different approach. SCTP will now build a skb as it
would be if it was received using GRO. That is, there will be a cover
skb with protocol headers and children ones containing the actual
segments, already segmented to a way that respects SCTP RFCs.
With that, we can tell skb_segment() to just split based on frag_list,
trusting its sizes are already in accordance.
This way SCTP can benefit from GSO and instead of passing several
packets through the stack, it can pass a single large packet.
v2:
- Added support for receiving GSO frames, as requested by Dave Miller.
- Clear skb->cb if packet is GSO (otherwise it's not used by SCTP)
- Added heuristics similar to what we have in TCP for not generating
single GSO packets that fills cwnd.
v3:
- consider sctphdr size in skb_gso_transport_seglen()
- rebased due to 5c7cdf339a ("gso: Remove arbitrary checks for
unsupported GSO")
