net/mlx4: use one page fragment per incoming frame
mlx4 driver has a suboptimal memory allocation strategy for regular
MTU=1500 frames, as it uses two page fragments :
One of 512 bytes and one of 1024 bytes.
This makes GRO less effective, as each GSO packet contains 8 MSS instead
of 16 MSS.
Performance of a single TCP flow gains 25 % increase with the following
patch.
