cover gro: decrease size of CB
This patch frees up space in the GRO CB, which is currently at its maximum size. This patch was submitted and reviewed previously in a patch series, but is now reposted as a standalone patch, as suggested by Paolo.

PATCH 1/1 gro: decrease size of CB
The GRO control block (NAPI_GRO_CB) is currently at its maximum size. This commit reduces its size by putting two groups of fields that are used only at different times into a union.
Specifically, the fields frag0 and frag0_len are the fields that make up the frag0 optimisation mechanism, which is used during the initial parsing of the SKB.
The fields last and age are used after the initial parsing, while the SKB is stored in the GRO list, waiting for other packets to arrive.
There was one location in dev_gro_receive that modified the frag0 fields after setting last and age. I changed this accordingly without altering the code behaviour.

Hi Richard,
In general it is preferred not to use the inline keyword in C files, but rather let the compiler do it's thing.
Unless you think the compiler isn't doing it's thing very well in this case, please consider removing the inline keyword.
