Subject: [PATCH 1/4] gro: Remember number of held packets instead of counting every time

gro: Remember number of held packets instead of counting every time

This patch prepares for the move of the same_flow checks out of
dev_gro_receive.  As such we need to remember the number of held
packets since doing a loop just to count them every time is silly.
