This patch changes the way the driver advertises its checksum offload
capabilities within the net device features bit mask.
Instead of advertising protocol specific checksumming capabilities
which are limited today to IPv4 and IPv6, we move to reporing
generic HW checksumming capabilities.
This will allow the network stack to let mlx5 device offload checksum
for cases where the IP header is encapsulated within another protocol
and the skb->protocol doesn't indicate one of the IP versions protocol,
specifically in the case of MPLS label encapsulating the IP header and
the skb->protocol indiciates MPLS ethertype rather than IP.
Moving the HW_CSUM reporting is required in the basic net device hw
features mask and also in the extensions (vlan and encpasulation
features) since the extensions are always multiplied by the basic
features set during the packet's traversal through the stack's tx flow.
When setting the bonding interface net device features,
the kernel code doesn't address the slaves' MPLS features
and doesn't inherit them.
Therefore, HW offloads that enhance performance such as
checksumming and TSO are disabled for MPLS tagged traffic
flowing via the bonding interface.
The patch add the inheritance of the MPLS features from the
slave devices with a similar logic to setting the bonding device's
VLAN and encapsulation features.

During the creation of the VLAN interface net device,
the various device features and offloads are being set based
on the parent device's features.
The code initiates the basic, vlan and encapsulation features
but doesn't address the MPLS features set and they remain blank.
As a result, all device offloads that have significant performance
effect are disabled for MPLS traffic going via this VLAN device such
as checksumming and TSO.
This patch makes sure that MPLS features are also set for the
VLAN device based on the parent which will allow HW offloads of
checksumming and TSO to be performed on MPLS tagged packets.
