Subject: [PATCH net-next 0/3] net: gro: reduce extension header parsing
 overhead

This series attempts to reduce parsing overhead of IPv6 extension headers
in GRO and GSO, by removing extension header specific code and enabling
the frag0 fast path.
 
The following changes were made:
- Specific unnecessary HBH conditionals were removed by adding HBH offload
  to inet6_offloads
- Added a utility function to support frag0 fast path in ipv6_gro_receive
- Added self-test for IPv6 packets with extension headers in GRO

  net: gro: parse ipv6 ext headers without frag0 invalidation
  selftests/net: fix GRO coalesce test and add ext header coalesce test
