[net-next-2.6 PATCH] igb: drop support for UDP hashing w/ RSS

[Jeff Kirsher]

From: Alexander Duyck <alexander.h.duyck@intel.com>

This change removes UDP from the supported protocols for RSS hashing.  The
reason for removing this protocol is because IP fragmentation was causing a
network flow to be broken into two streams, one for fragmented, and one for
non-fragmented and this in turn was causing out-of-order issues.
