There has been a number of reports that using SG/TSO on different chip
versions results in tx timeouts. However for a lot of people SG/TSO
works fine. Therefore disable both features by default, but allow users
to enable them. Use at own risk!

Fixes: 93681cd7d94f ("r8169: enable HW csum and TSO")

This version of the fix applies on 5.4 - 5.6.
