TSO interacts badly with many queueing disciplines because they rely on
reordering packets from different streams and the large TSO packets can
make this difficult. This patch disables TSO for sockets that send over
devices with non standard queueing disciplines. That's anything but noop
or pfifo_fast and pfifo right now.
Longer term other queueing disciplines could be checked if they
are also ok with TSO. If yes they can set the TCQ_F_GSO_OK flag too.
It is still enabled for the standard pfifo_fast because that will never
reorder packets with the same type-of-service. This means 99+% of all users
will still be able to use TSO just fine.
The status is only set up at socket creation so a shifted route
will not reenable TSO on a existing socket. I don't think that's a
problem though.
