bnxt_en: Use page frag RX buffers for better software GRO performance

Browse source

If NETIF_F_GRO_HW is disabled, the existing driver code uses kmalloc'ed
data for RX buffers.  This causes inefficient SW GRO performance
because the GRO data is merged using the less efficient frag_list.
Use netdev_alloc_frag() and friends instead so that GRO data can be
merged into skb_shinfo(skb)->frags for better performance.

[Use skb_free_frag() - Vikas Gupta]
