Subject: [PATCH net-next 2/2] net-gro: remove GRO_DROP

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

GRO_DROP can only be returned from napi_gro_frags()
if the skb has not been allocated by a prior napi_get_frags()

Since drivers must use napi_get_frags() and test its result
before populating the skb with metadata, we can safely remove
GRO_DROP since it offers no practical use.
