[PATCH v3 01/16] gso: remove logtype

If a large packet is passed into GSO routines of unknown protocol
then library would log a message and pass it through. This is incorrect
behaviour on many levels:
- it allows oversize packet to get passed on to NIC driver
- no direct return is visible to applications
- if it happens once, many more will follow and log will fill.
- bonus it is only log message with GSO type.
The fix is to just return -EINVAL which is what this library
does in many other places when looking at headers.
