It wasn't really a problem before accelerations got enabled on q-in-q
vlans.

So, to put it another way, leave the intersection with HW_CSUM in the mask,
and then do:
return features & ~(NETIF_F_IP_CSUM|NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM);
This might work, but it assumes that everyone who announce HW_CSUM can
do q-in-q vlans. It's been a bit of a pain tracking this down and I'd rather
fix it for everyone and let individual driver authors verify that Q-in-Q works
correctly with HW checksum. However, I am willing to do the above if
that's what people want.
