What exactly does this mean?

This patch changes the definition of gro_complete to add a thoff
alongside the existing "nhoff"..

    > +                                             int thoff);

.. but also fixes up implementations to interpret the existing
argument as a thoff

But in some cases the new argument is not nhoff but p_off, e.g.,

    >  static int geneve_gro_complete(struct sock *sk, struct sk_buff *skb,
    > -                            int nhoff)
    > +                            int p_off, int nhoff)

Really, the argument is the start of the next header, each callback
just casts to its expected header (ethhdr, tcphdr, etc.)

The only place where we need to pass an extra argument is in udp,
because that needs a pointer to the network header right before the
transport header pointed to by nhoff.

And only due to possible IPv4 options or IPv6 extension headers, we
cannot just do

+        struct udphdr *iph = (struct iphdr *)(skb->data + nhoff - sizeof(*iph));
         struct udphdr *uh = (struct udphdr *)(skb->data + nhoff);

I also do not immediately see an a way to avoid all the boilerplate
of a new argument in every callback. Aside from a per_cpu var -- but
that is excessive.

But it can just be left zero in all callsites, except for
inet_gro_complete/ipv6_gro_complete, which pass in nhoff.

This and the previous change should really target net, as they are
bug fixes.
