This patch adds a framework that allows GRO on tunneled packets.
Furthermore, it leverages that framework to provide GRO support for
VxLAN-encapsulated packets. Supported VxLAN packets must have an outer
IPv4 header, and contain an inner TCP/IPv4 packet.
VxLAN GRO doesn't check if input packets have correct checksums and
doesn't update checksums for output packets. Additionally, it assumes
the packets are complete (i.e., MF==0 && frag_off==0), when IP
fragmentation is possible (i.e., DF==0).

This patch complies RFC 6864 to process IPv4 ID fields. Specifically, GRO
ingores IPv4 ID fields for the packets whose DF bit is 1, and checks IPv4
ID fields for the packets whose DF bit is 0.
