Subject: be2net: GRO for non-inet protocols

I'm adding GRO support for the TIPC protocol and
tried to test it on a pair of HP G7 blades with 
Emulex Corporation OneConnect 10Gb NIC (be3) (rev 01) NICs.

However, my GRO callback is never invoked on this setup, and 
i suspect the be2net driver is to blame.
I had a brief look at the driver, first suspecting that the
do_gro check only passed for inet protocols (tcpf must be set 
in the be_rx_compl_info struct).
However, removing this check did not change the behavior.

#ethtool -i eth1
driver: be2net
version: 4.4.161.0s
firmware-version: 4.1.450.7
bus-info: 0000:02:00.1
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: no

It works as expected on another setup with with Intel NIC's/e1000 driver.
