Subject: [PATCH 3/4] gro: Optimise IPv4 packet reception

gro: Optimise IPv4 packet reception

As this function can be called more than half a million times for
10GbE, it's important to optimise it as much as we can.

This patch does some obvious changes to use 2-byte and 4-byte
operations instead of byte-oriented ones where possible.  Bit
ops are also used to replace logical ops to reduce branching.
