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.
