[PATCH v4 net-next 2/2] udp: allow forwarding of plain (non-fraglisted) UDP GRO packets

From: Alexander Lobakin

Commit 9fd1ff5d2ac7 ("udp: Support UDP fraglist GRO/GSO.") actually
not only added a support for fraglisted UDP GRO, but also tweaked
some logics the way that non-fraglisted UDP GRO started to work for
forwarding too.
Commit 2e4ef10f5850 ("net: add GSO UDP L4 and GSO fraglists to the
list of software-backed types") added GSO UDP L4 to the list of
software GSO to allow virtual netdevs to forward them as is up to
the real drivers.

Tests showed that currently forwarding and NATing of plain UDP GRO
packets are performed fully correctly, regardless if the target
netdevice has a support for hardware/driver GSO UDP L4 or not.
Add the last element and allow to form plain UDP GRO packets if
we are on forwarding path, and the new NETIF_F_GRO_UDP_FWD is
enabled on a receiving netdevice.

If both NETIF_F_GRO_FRAGLIST and NETIF_F_GRO_UDP_FWD are set,
fraglisted GRO takes precedence. This keeps the current behaviour
and is generally more optimal for now, as the number of NICs with
hardware USO offload is relatively small.
