Set the nic checksum offload to OFF for virtual nics.

@kingshukdev Can you please elaborate the need for this change ?

the virtual NIC's can not support offloads like HW nics. However when meshnet nics ware created by default these capabilities ware not made "Off". As a results some NOS containers were assuming the NIC will insert the checksum as opposed to letting Linux OS to insert the checksum.
