[PATCH net] net: stmmac: keep gso_enabled_types in sync with netdev features

stmmac_set_gso_types() derives priv->gso_enabled_types all-or-nothing
from NETIF_F_TSO, but stmmac_set_gso_features() advertises NETIF_F_TSO,
NETIF_F_TSO6 and (on GMAC4) NETIF_F_GSO_UDP_L4 as independently
toggleable features. Since netdev_fix_features() only ties TSO6 to the
checksum features, disabling TSO (ethtool -K ethX tx-tcp-segmentation
off) leaves TSO6 enabled in dev->features while gso_enabled_types
becomes 0.

For a TCPv6 GSO skb the stack then keeps the frame unsegmented
(NETIF_F_TSO6 is still set), stmmac_features_check() does not clear the
GSO mask, and the stmmac_xmit() gate (gso_type & gso_enabled_types) is
false, so the multi-MSS skb is transmitted through the ordinary
descriptor path as a single oversized frame.

Derive each GSO type from its own feature bit instead, so the mask stays
in sync with dev->features and TCPv6 (or UDP L4 on GMAC4) segmentation
keeps working when only TSO is disabled.

Fixes: 2e4082e4b739 ("net: stmmac: simplify GSO/TSO test in stmmac_xmit()")
