net: gro: move L3 flush checks to tcp_gro_receive and udp_gro_receive_segment

{inet,ipv6}_gro_receive functions perform flush checks (ttl, flags,
iph->id, ...) against all packets in a loop. These flush checks are used in
all merging UDP and TCP flows.

These checks need to be done only once and only against the found p skb,
since they only affect flush and not same_flow.

This patch leverages correct network header offsets from the cb for both
outer and inner network headers - allowing these checks to be done only
once, in tcp_gro_receive and udp_gro_receive_segment. As a result,
NAPI_GRO_CB(p)->flush is not used at all. In addition, flush_id checks are
more declarative and contained in inet_gro_flush, thus removing the need
for flush_id in napi_gro_cb.

This results in less parsing code for non-loop flush tests for TCP and UDP
flows.

To make sure results are not within noise range - I've made netfilter drop
all TCP packets, and measured CPU performance in GRO (in this case GRO is
responsible for about 50% of the CPU utilization).

(gro_receive_network_flush is compiled inline to tcp_gro_receive)
