Subject: [PATCH net-next] bnx2x: avoid two atomic ops per page on x86

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

Commit 4cace675d687 ("bnx2x: Alloc 4k fragment for each rx ring buffer
element") added extra put_page() and get_page() calls on arches where
PAGE_SIZE=4K like x86

Reorder things to avoid this overhead.
