net: add support for ipv4 big tcp

Similar to Eric's IPv6 BIG TCP, this patch is to enable IPv4 BIG TCP.

Firstly, allow sk->sk_gso_max_size to be set to a value greater than
GSO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE by not trimming gso_max_size in sk_trim_gso_size()
for IPv4 TCP sockets.

Then on TX path, set IP header tot_len to 0 when skb->len > IP_MAX_MTU
in __ip_local_out() to allow to send BIG TCP packets, and this implies
that skb->len is the length of a IPv4 packet; On RX path, use skb->len
as the length of the IPv4 packet when the IP header tot_len is 0 and
skb->len > IP_MAX_MTU in ip_rcv_core(). As the API iph_set_totlen() and
skb_ip_totlen() are used in __ip_local_out() and ip_rcv_core(), we only
need to update these APIs.

Also in GRO receive, add the check for ETH_P_IP/IPPROTO_TCP, and allows
the merged packet size >= GRO_LEGACY_MAX_SIZE in skb_gro_receive(). In
GRO complete, set IP header tot_len to 0 when the merged packet size
greater than IP_MAX_MTU in iph_set_totlen() so that it can be processed
on RX path.

Note that by checking skb_is_gso_tcp() in API iph_totlen(), it makes
this implementation safe to use iph->len == 0 indicates IPv4 BIG TCP
packets.
