From: Kai-Heng Feng <kai.heng.feng@canonical.com>

commit f29801030ac67bf98b7a65d3aea67b30769d4f7c upstream.

Commit b10effb92e27 ("e1000e: fix buffer overrun while the I219 is
processing DMA transactions") imposes roughly 30% performance penalty.

The commit log states that "Disabling TSO eliminates performance loss
for TCP traffic without a noticeable impact on CPU performance", so
let's disable TSO by default to regain the loss.
