[PATCH net] net: gro: flush the real oldest skb

[kerneljasonxing@gmail.com]

From: Jason Xing <xingwanli@kuaishou.com>

Prior to this patch, when the count of skbs of one flow is larger than
MAX_GRO_SKBS, gro_flush_oldest() flushes the tail of the list. However,
as we can see in the merge part of skb_gro_receive(), the tail of the
list is the newest, head oldest.

Here, we need to fetch the real oldest one and then process it to lower
the latency.

Fix: 07d78363dc ("net: Convert NAPI gro list into a small hash table.")
