Don't enable TSO by default. Users of RTL8169/8110 reported

watchdog timeout issues and the root cause seems to stem from
silicon bug of controller. Personally I couldn't reproduce it on
RTL8169 controller but it seems it's dependent on usage pattern.
For newer PCIe based controllers I have no TSO complaints but
turning off TSO would be more safe. Users who are sure that
their controller works with TSO can still reenable the TSO with
ifconfig(8).
