net: Support RXFCS feature flag.
When set on hardware that supports the feature,
this causes the Ethernet FCS to be appended
to the end of the skb.
Useful for sniffing packets.

[FIXME: Those cases could be fixed in VLAN code by allowing only reduced-MTU
VLANs. This may be not useful, though.]

+This requests that the NIC append the Ethernet Frame Checksum (FCS)
+to the end of the skb data. This allows sniffers and other tools to
+read the CRC recorded by the NIC on receipt of the packet.
