i40e: Fix TSO with more than 8 frags per segment issue
The hardware has some limitations the driver needs to adhere to,
that we found in extended testing.
1) no more than 8 descriptors per packet on the wire
2) no header can span more than 3 descriptors
If one of these events occurs, the hardware will generate an internal
error and freeze the Tx queue.
This patch linearizes the skb to avoid these situations.
