Maybe we do some investigation to find out why the performace lost is more than
suspected first.

For example if LRO'ed skb is added in gro_list->list, and then new LRO'ed skb from
the same flow only go through the whole GSO processing only to find out we have to
flush out the old LRO'ed in the gro_list->list, and add new LRO'ed skb in gro_list->list
again?
