On some platforms, GRO stack is too deep and causes cpu stalls.

Decreasing call depths by one shows a 1.5 % gain on Zen 2 cpus.
(32 RX queues, 100Gbit NIC, RFS enabled, tcp_rr with 128 threads and 10,000 flows)

We can go further by inlining ipv6_gro_{receive,complete}
and take care of IPv4 if there is interest.

Cumulative size increase for this series (of 3):
