[PATCH 3.13 006/212] net: core: don't account for udp header size when computing seglen

3.13.11.4 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Florian Westphal <fw at strlen.de>

[ Upstream commit 6d39d589bb76ee8a1c6cde6822006ae0053decff ]

In case of tcp, gso_size contains the tcpmss.

For UFO (udp fragmentation offloading) skbs, gso_size is the fragment
payload size, i.e. we must not account for udp header size.

Otherwise, when using virtio drivers, a to-be-forwarded UFO GSO packet
will be needlessly fragmented in the forward path, because we think its
individual segments are too large for the outgoing link.

Fixes: fe6cc55f3a9a053 ("net: ip, ipv6: handle gso skbs in forwarding path")
