qlge: remove NETIF_F_TSO6 flag
It is werid that qlge driver supports NETIF_F_TSO6 but
not NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM. This also causes some kernel warning [1]
when VLAN device setups on a qlge interface.
I think the qlge hardware doesn't support NETIF_F_IPV6_CSUM,
so we have to just remove the NETIF_F_TSO6 flag.
After this patch, the TCP/IPv6 traffic becomes normal again,
no kernel warnings any more.
NOTE: I only tested it on 2.6.32 kernel, even if the upstream
kernel could fix this automatically (it is hard to track NETIF*
flags), removing it is also safe.
