[PATCH: net-next] core: make GRO methods static.

[PATCH: net-next] core: make GRO methods static.

[Rami Rosen]

This patch changes three methods to be static and removes their
EXPORT_SYMBOLs in core/dev.c and their external declaration in
netdevice.h. The methods, dev_gro_receive(), napi_frags_finish() and
napi_skb_finish(), which are in the GRO rx path, are not used
outside core/dev.c.
