Subject: [PATCH v4 2/2] gro: optimise redundant parsing of packets

Currently the IPv6 extension headers are parsed twice: first in
ipv6_gro_receive, and then again in ipv6_gro_complete.

By using the new ->transport_proto field, and also storing the size of the
network header, we can avoid parsing extension headers a second time in
ipv6_gro_complete (which saves multiple memory dereferences and conditional
checks inside ipv6_exthdrs_len for a varying amount of extension headers in
IPv6 packets).

The implementation had to handle both inner and outer layers in case of
encapsulation (as they can't use the same field). I've applied a similar
optimisation to Ethernet.

Performance tests for TCP stream over IPv6 with a varying amount of
extension headers demonstrate throughput improvement of ~0.7%.
