net offloading: Accept NETIF_F_HW_CSUM for all protocols. 

We currently only have software fallback for one type of checksum: the
TCP/UDP one's complement.  This means that a protocol that uses hardware
offloading for a different type of checksum (FCoE, SCTP) must directly
check the device's features and do the right thing ahead of time.  By
the time we get to dev_can_checksum(), we're only deciding whether to
apply the one algorithm in software or hardware.  NETIF_F_HW_CSUM has the
same capabilities as the software version, so we should always use it if
present.  The primary advantage of this is multiply tagged vlans can use
hardware checksumming.
