i40e/i40evf: Limit TSO to 7 descriptors for payload instead of 8 per packet
This patch addresses a bug introduced based on my interpretation of the XL710 datasheet. Specifically section 8.4.1 states that "A single transmit packet may span up to 8 buffers (up to 8 data descriptors per packet including both the header and payload buffers)." It then later goes on to say that each segment for a TSO obeys the previous rule, however it then refers to TSO header and the segment payload buffers. I believe the actual limit for fragments with TSO and a skbuff that has payload data in the header portion of the buffer is actually only 7 fragments as the skb->data portion counts as 2 buffers, one for the TSO header, and one for a segment payload buffer.
