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

From: Vlad Yasevich <vyase...@redhat.com>
[ Upstream commit cbdb04279ccaefcc702c8757757eea8ed76e50cf ]
The following is a problematic configuration:
VM1: virtio-net device connected to macvtap0@eth0
VM2: e1000 device connect to macvtap1@eth0
The problem is is that virtio-net supports checksum offloading
and thus sends the packets to the host with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL set.
On the other hand, e1000 does not support any acceleration.
For small TCP packets (and this includes the 3-way handshake),
e1000 ends up receiving packets that only have a partial checksum
set. This causes TCP to fail checksum validation and to drop
packets. As a result tcp connections can not be established.
Commit 3e4f8b787370978733ca6cae452720a4f0c296b8
macvtap: Perform GSO on forwarding path.
fixes this issue for large packets wthat will end up undergoing GSO.
This commit adds a check for the non-GSO case and attempts to
compute the checksum for partially checksummed packets in the
non-GSO case.
