net: Introduce sk_route_nocaps



TCP-MD5 sessions have intermittent failures, when route cache is
invalidated. ip_queue_xmit() has to find a new route, calls
sk_setup_caps(sk, &rt->u.dst), destroying the 

sk->sk_route_caps &= ~NETIF_F_GSO_MASK

that MD5 desperately try to make all over its way (from
tcp_transmit_skb() for example)

So we send few bad packets, and everything is fine when
tcp_transmit_skb() is called again for this socket.

Since ip_queue_xmit() is at a lower level than TCP-MD5, I chose to use a
socket field, sk_route_nocaps, containing bits to mask on sk_route_caps.
