commit cc20cced0598d9a5ff91ae4ab147b3b5e99ee819 upstream.
We encounter a tcp drop issue in our cloud environment. Packet GROed in host forwards to a VM virtio_net nic with net_failover enabled. VM acts as a IPVS LB with ipip encapsulation. The full path like: host gro -> vm virtio_net rx -> net_failover rx -> ipvs fullnat -> ipip encap -> net_failover tx -> virtio_net tx
When net_failover transmits a ipip pkt (gso_type = 0x0103, which means SKB_GSO_TCPV4, SKB_GSO_DODGY and SKB_GSO_IPXIP4), there is no gso did because it supports TSO and GSO_IPXIP4. But network_header points to inner ip header.
Call Trace: tcp4_gso_segment ------> return NULL inet_gso_segment ------> inner iph, network_header points to ipip_gso_segment inet_gso_segment ------> outer iph skb_mac_gso_segment
Afterwards virtio_net transmits the pkt, only inner ip header is modified. And the outer one just keeps unchanged. The pkt will be dropped in remote host.

The root cause of this issue is specific with the rare combination of SKB_GSO_DODGY and a tunnel device that adds an SKB_GSO_ tunnel option. SKB_GSO_DODGY is set from external virtio_net. We need to reset network header when callbacks.gso_segment() returns NULL.
This patch also includes ipv6_gso_segment(), considering SIT, etc.
