Use netif_receive_skb_list to batch process rx skb.
Tested on BCM6328 320 MHz using iperf3 -M 512, increasing performance
by 12.5%.

Before:
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr
[ 4] 0.00-30.00 sec 120 MBytes 33.7 Mbits/sec 277 sender
[ 4] 0.00-30.00 sec 120 MBytes 33.5 Mbits/sec receiver

After:
[ ID] Interval Transfer Bandwidth Retr
[ 4] 0.00-30.00 sec 136 MBytes 37.9 Mbits/sec 203 sender
[ 4] 0.00-30.00 sec 135 MBytes 37.7 Mbits/sec receiver
