mlx4: support BIG TCP packets

mlx4 supports LSOv2 just fine.

IPv6 stack inserts a temporary Hop-by-Hop header
with JUMBO TLV for big packets.

We need to ignore the HBH header when populating TX descriptor.

Tested:

Before: (not enabling bigger TSO/GRO packets)

ip link set dev eth0 gso_max_size 65536 gro_max_size 65536

netperf -H lpaa18 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -l 10 -Cc -- -r 70000,70000
MIGRATED TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST from ::0 (::) port 0 AF_INET6 to lpaa18.prod.google.com () port 0 AF_INET6 : first burst 0 : cpu bind

After: (enabling bigger TSO/GRO packets)

ip link set dev eth0 gso_max_size 185000 gro_max_size 185000

netperf -H lpaa18 -t TCP_RR -T2,2 -l 10 -Cc -- -r 70000,70000
