I am not changing the logic in this patch, just moving the check from
qede_alloc_sge_mem() to qede_fix_features().

Typically, the chip will also do header-data split when doing GRO_HW,
so that's probably why it is checking the MTU and not the total packet
size against page size.  Ariel can confirm.
