igb: Replace LRO with GRO
This patch makes igb invoke the GRO hooks instead of LRO. As
GRO has a compatible external interface to LRO this is a very
straightforward replacement.
Three things of note:
1) I've kept the LRO Kconfig option until we decide to enable
GRO across the board at which point it can also be killed.
2) The poll_controller stuff is broken in igb as it tries to do
the same work as the normal poll routine. Since poll_controller
can be called in the middle of a poll, this can't be good.
I noticed this because poll_controller can invoke the GRO hooks
without flushing held GRO packets.
However, this should be harmless (assuming the poll_controller
bug above doesn't kill you first :) since the next ->poll will
clear the backlog. The only time when we'll have a problem is
if we're already executing the GRO code on the same ring, but
that's no worse than what happens now.
3) I kept the ip_summed check before calling GRO so that we're
on par with previous behaviour.
