vxlan: vxlan dev should inherit lowerdev's gso_max_size
vxlan dev currently ignores lowerdev's gso_max_size, which adversely
affects TSO performance of liquidio if it's the lowerdev. Egress TCP
packets' skb->len often exceed liquidio's advertised gso_max_size. This
may happen on other NIC drivers.
Fix it by assigning lowerdev's gso_max_size to that of vxlan dev. Might as
well do likewise for gso_max_segs.
Single flow TSO throughput of liquidio as lowerdev (using iperf3):
Before the patch: 139 Mbps
After the patch : 8.68 Gbps
Percent increase: 6,144 %
