In fact, since we no longer reset when XDP is set,
here device might have offloads enabled, buffers are
used but not consumed, then XDP is set.

This can result in
- packet scattered across multiple buffers
  (handled correctly but need to update the comment)
- packet may have VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_NEEDS_CSUM, in that case
  the spec says "The checksum on the packet is incomplete".
  (probably needs to be handled by calculating the checksum).

Ideas for follow-up patches:

- skip looking at packet data completely
  won't work if you play with checksums dynamically
  but can be done if disabled on device
- allow ethtools to tweak offloads from userspace as well
