Make this properly then, instead of relying on LTO.

We did preliminary work to put this stuff in separate files, but its not

tcpv4_offload has pointers to tcp4_gro_receive() and tcp4_gro_complete()

Is LTO smart enough to understand this will never be called, and do
proper code elimination of whole _gro_ helpers ?
