mlx5e_psp_handle_tx_skb() assumes skbs are ipv6 when doing a partial
TCP checksum with tso. Make correctly mlx5e_psp_handle_tx_skb() handle
ipv4 packets.

This is a bug when an ipv4 tx skb passes through
mlx5e_psp_handle_tx_skb() and tso is requested. It was previously
undetected in my testing because my setup involves cx7's on both ends,
and mlx5e_handle_csum() marks PSP rx skb's with csum_unnecessary.
To reproduce the problem just turn off NETIF_F_RXCSUM and observe:
nstat -a | grep TcpInCsumErrors

All four of these should be declared lower down in their respective if
branches.
