[PATCH net-next] net/mlx4: use one page fragment per incoming frame

[Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>]

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@google.com>

mlx4 driver has a suboptimal memory allocation strategy for regular
MTU=1500 frames, as it uses two page fragments :

One of 512 bytes and one of 1024 bytes.

This makes GRO less effective, as each GSO packet contains 8 MSS instead
of 16 MSS.

Performance of a single TCP flow gains 25 % increase with the following
patch.
