veth: extend features to support tunneling
While investigating on a recent vxlan regression, I found veth was using a zero features set for vxlan tunnels. We have to segment GSO frames, copy the payload, and do the checksum. This patch brings a ~200% performance increase We probably have to add hw_enc_features support on other virtual devices.
