datapath: Move segmentation compatibility code into a compatibility function
Move segmentation compatibility code out of netdev_send and into
rpl_dev_queue_xmit(), a compatibility function used in place
of dev_queue_xmit() as necessary.
As suggested by Jesse Gross.
Some minor though verbose implementation notes:
* This rpl_dev_queue_xmit() endeavours to return a valid error code or
zero on success as per dev_queue_xmit(). The exception is that when
dev_queue_xmit() is called in a loop only the status of the last call is
taken into account, thus ignoring any errors returned by previous calls.
This is derived from the previous calls to dev_queue_xmit() in a loop
where netdev_send() ignores the return value of dev_queue_xmit()
entirely.
* netdev_send() continues to ignore the value of dev_queue_xmit().
So the discussion of the return value of rpl_dev_queue_xmit()
above is has no bearing on run-time behaviour.
* The return value of netdev_send() may differ from the previous
implementation in the case where segmentation is performed before
calling the real dev_queue_xmit(). This is because previously in
this case netdev_send() would return the combined length of the
skbs resulting from segmentation. Whereas the current code
always returns the length of the original skb.
