During initialization of vmxnet3, the state of LRO
gets out of sync with netdev->features.
This leads to very poor TCP performance in a IP forwarding
setup and is hitting many VMware users.
Simplified call sequence:
1. vmxnet3_declare_features() initializes "adapter->lro" to true.
2. The kernel automatically disables LRO if IP forwarding is enabled,
so vmxnet3_set_flags() gets called. This also updates netdev->features.
3. Now vmxnet3_setup_driver_shared() is called. "adapter->lro" is still
set to true and LRO gets enabled again, even though
netdev->features shows it's disabled.
Fix it by updating "adapter->lro", too.
The private vmxnet3 adapter flags are scheduled for removal
in net-next, see commit
