xen-netback: make sure that hashes are not send to unaware frontends
In the case when a frontend only negotiates a single queue with xen- netback it is possible for a skbuff with a s/w hash to result in a hash extra_info segment being sent to the frontend even when no hash algorithm has been configured. (The ndo_select_queue() entry point makes sure the hash is not set if no algorithm is configured, but this entry point is not called when there is only a single queue). This can result in a frontend that is unable to handle extra_info segments being given such a segment, causing it to crash. This patch fixes the problem by clearing the hash in ndo_start_xmit() instead, which is clearly guaranteed to be called irrespective of the number of queues.
