gro: Do not merge paged packets into frag_list
Bigger is not always better :)
It was easy to continue to merged packets into frag_list after the
page array is full. However, this turns out to be worse than LRO
because frag_list is a much less efficient form of storage than the
page array. So we're better off stopping the merge and starting
a new entry with an empty page array.
In future we can optimise this further by doing frag_list merging
but making sure that we continue to fill in the page array.

Unfortunately simplicity isn't always the best. The fraginfo
interface turned out to be suboptimal. The problem was quite
obvious. For every packet, we have to copy the headers from
the frags structure into skb->head, even though for 99% of the
packets this part is immediately thrown away after the merge.
LRO didn't have this problem because it directly read the headers
from the frags structure.
This patch attempts to address this by creating an interface
that allows GRO to access the headers in the first frag without
having to copy it. Because all drivers that use frags place the
headers in the first frag this optimisation should be enough.

We now only TX hash on pre-computed SKB properties.
The thinking is:
1) High performance routing and firewalling setups will
have a multiqueue capable card used for receive, and
therefore would have RX queue recordings made into
the SKB which can be used for the TX side hash.
2) Locally generated packets will have an attached socket
and thus a valid sk->sk_hash to make use of.
Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
The idea is that drivers which implement multiqueue RX
pre-seed the SKB by recording the RX queue selected by
the hardware.
If such a seed is found on TX, we'll use that to select
the outgoing TX queue.
This helps get more consistent load balancing on router
and firewall loads.

commit 77ecaf2d5a ("gianfar: Fix VLAN
HW feature related frame/buffer size calculation") wrongly removed
priv->vlgrp assignment, and now priv->vlgrp is always NULL.
This patch fixes the issue, plus fixes following sparse warning
introduced by the same commit:
gianfar.c:1406:13: warning: context imbalance in 'gfar_vlan_rx_register' - wrong count at exit
gfar_vlan_rx_register() checks for "if (old_grp == grp)" and tries
to return w/o dropping the lock.
According to net/8021q/vlan.c VLAN core issues rx_register() callback:
1. In register_vlan_dev() only on a newly created group;
2. In unregister_vlan_dev() only if the group becomes empty.
Thus the check in the gianfar driver isn't needed.

In previous kernels, any kernel module could get access to the
'real-device' and the VLAN-ID for a particular VLAN. In more recent
kernels, the code was restructured such that this is hard to do
without accessing private .h files for any module that cannot use
GPL-only symbols.
Attached is a patch to once again allow non-GPL modules the ability to
access the real-device and VLAN id for VLANs.
