udp: Generalize skb_udp_segment
skb_udp_segment is the function called from udp4_ufo_fragment to segment a UDP tunnel packet. This function currently assumes segmentation is transparent Ethernet bridging (i.e. VXLAN encapsulation). This patch generalizes the function to operate on either Ethertype or IP protocol. The inner_protocol field must be set to the protocol of the inner header. This can now be either an Ethertype or an IP protocol (in a union). A new flag in the skbuff indicates which type is effective. skb_set_inner_protocol and skb_set_inner_ipproto helper functions were added to set the inner_protocol. These functions are called from the point where the tunnel encapsulation is occuring. When skb_udp_tunnel_segment is called, the function to segment the inner packet is selected based on the inner IP or Ethertype. In the case of an IP protocol encapsulation, the function is derived from inet[6]_offloads. In the case of Ethertype, skb->protocol is set to the inner_protocol and skb_mac_gso_segment is called. (GRE currently does this, but it might be possible to lookup the protocol in offload_base and call the appropriate segmenation function directly).
