Subject: [PATCH RFC bpf-next 32/52] bpf, cpumap: switch to GRO from netif_receive_skb_list()

cpumap has its own BH context based on kthread. It has a sane batch
size of 8 frames per one cycle.
GRO can be used on its own, adjust cpumap calls to the
upper stack to use GRO API instead of netif_receive_skb_list() which
processes skbs by batches, but doesn't involve GRO layer at all.
It is most beneficial when a NIC which frame come from is XDP
generic metadata-enabled, but in plenty of tests GRO performs better
than listed receiving even given that it has to calculate full frame
checksums on CPU.
As GRO passes the skbs to the upper stack in the batches of
@gro_normal_batch, i.e. 8 by default, and @skb->dev point to the
device where the frame comes from, it is enough to disable GRO
netdev feature on it to completely restore the original behaviour:
untouched frames will be being bulked and passed to the upper stack
by 8, as it was with netif_receive_skb_list().
