Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/2] ice: drop dead code in ice_receive_skb()

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

napi_gro_receive() can never return GRO_DROP

GRO_DROP can only be returned from napi_gro_frags()
which is the other NAPI GRO entry point.

Followup patch will remove GRO_DROP, because drivers
are not supposed to call napi_gro_frags() if prior
napi_get_frags() has failed.

Note that I have left the gro_dropped variable. I leave to ice
maintainers the decision to further remove it from ethtool -S results.
