net: consolidate netif_needs_gso() checks
netif_needs_gso() is checked twice in the TX path once, before submitting the skb to the qdisc and once after it is dequeued from the qdisc just before calling ndo_hard_start(). This opens a window for a user to change the gso/tso or tx checksum settings that can cause netif_needs_gso to be true in one check and false in the other. Specifically, changing TX checksum setting may cause the warning in skb_gso_segment() to be triggered if the checksum is calculated earlier. This consolidates the netif_needs_gso() calls so that the stack only checks if gso is needed in dev_hard_start_xmit().
