We should only reach here if a supported gso_type value is in the packet,
otherwise we should end up with software segmentation taking care of it
and clearing the gso_size value if I recall correctly.

Otherwise the code should have been checking for non-TCP types ages ago,
and we would have experienced all sorts of bugs.
