Subject: [PATCH net-next 1/3] gve: Decouple header split from RX buffer length

From: Ankit Garg <nktgrg@...gle.com>

Previously, enabling header split via `gve_set_hsplit_config` also
implicitly changed the RX buffer length to 4K (if supported by the
device). This coupled two settings that should be orthogonal; this patch
removes that side effect.

After this change, `gve_set_hsplit_config` only toggles the header
split configuration. The RX buffer length is no longer affected and
must be configured independently.
