QEMU does not support checksum offloading for the spapr-vlan device, thus we always get the error message here. According to the LoPAPR specification, the "ibm,illan-options" property of the corresponding device tree node should be checked first to see whether the H_ILLAN_ATTRIUBTES hypercall and thus the checksum offloading feature is available. Thus let's do this in the ibmveth driver, too, so that the error message is really only limited to cases where something goes wrong, and does not occur if the feature is just missing.
