qemu: apply patch for CVE-2020-27617
An assert(3) failure issue was found in the networking helper functions of QEMU. It could occur in the eth_get_gso_type() routine, if a packet does not have a valid networking L3 protocol (ex. IPv4, IPv6) value. A guest user may use this flaw to crash the QEMU process on the host resulting in DoS scenario.

Subject: [PATCH] net: remove an assert call in eth_get_gso_type
eth_get_gso_type() routine returns segmentation offload type based on
L3 protocol type. It calls g_assert_not_reached if L3 protocol is
unknown, making the following return statement unreachable. Remove the
g_assert call, it maybe triggered by a guest user.
