[PATCH v2 net-next 3/3] skbuff: recycle GRO_MERGED_FREE skbs into NAPI skb cache

[Alexander Lobakin]

Instead of immediate freeing, recycle GRO_MERGED_FREE skbs into
NAPI skb cache. This is safe, because napi_gro_receive() and
napi_gro_frags() are called only inside NAPI softirq context.
As many drivers call napi_alloc_skb()/napi_get_frags() on their
receive path, this becomes especially useful.
