Subject: [PATCH net-next 4/4] gro: improve flow distribution across GRO buckets in dev_gro_receive()

Most of the functions that "convert" hash value into an index
(when RPS is configured / XPS is not configured / etc.) set
reciprocal_scale() on it. Its logics is simple, but fair enough and
accounts the entire input value.
On the opposite side, 'hash & (GRO_HASH_BUCKETS - 1)' expression uses
only 3 least significant bits of the value, which is far from
optimal (especially for XOR RSS hashers, where the hashes of two
different flows may differ only by 1 bit somewhere in the middle).

Use reciprocal_scale() here too to take the entire hash value into
account and improve flow dispersion between GRO hash buckets.
