MPLS: Use mpls_features to activate software MPLS GSO segmentation
If an MPLS packet requires segmentation then use mpls_features to determine if the software implementation should be used. As no driver advertises MPLS GSO segmentation this will always be the case. I had not noticed that this was necessary before as software MPLS GSO segmentation was already being used in my test environment. I believe that the reason for that is the skbs in question always had fragments and the driver I used does not advertise NETIF_F_FRAGLIST (which seems to be the case for most drivers). Thus software segmentation was activated by skb_gso_ok(). This introduces the overhead of an extra call to skb_network_protocol() in the case where where CONFIG_NET_MPLS_GSO is set and skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE. Thanks to Jesse Gross for prompting me to investigate this.
