guest_offloads[] is used by the VIRTIO_NET_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS_SET
command to switch features when XDP is loaded/unloaded.

If the VIRTIO_NET_F_CTRL_GUEST_OFFLOADS feature is negotiated:
1. When XDP is loaded, virtnet_xdp_set() uses virtnet_clear_guest_offloads()
to automatically turn off the features in guest_offloads[].

2. when XDP is unloaded, virtnet_xdp_set() uses virtnet_restore_guest_offloads()
to automatically restore the features in guest_offloads[].

Now, this work no longer makes XDP and _F_GUEST_CSUM mutually
exclusive, so this patch removed the _F_GUEST_CSUM from guest_offloads[].

No. This doesn't change the dependencies of other features on
_F_GUEST_CSUM. Removing _F_GUEST_CSUM here does not mean that other
features that depend on it will be turned off at the same time, such as
_F_GUEST_TSO{4,6}, F_GUEST_USO{4,6}, etc.

Thanks.
