This part of code is for the case that "the headers and data are in
a single large buffer". However, qlge_process_mac_split_rx_intr is for
handling packets that packets underwent head splitting. In reality, with
jumbo frame enabled, the part of code couldn't be reached regardless of
the packet size when ping the NIC.

This commit message is a bit confusing.  We're just deleting the else
statement.  Once I knew that then it was easy enough to review
qlge_process_mac_rx_intr() and see that if if
ib_mac_rsp->flags3 & IB_MAC_IOCB_RSP_DL is set then
ib_mac_rsp->flags4 & IB_MAC_IOCB_RSP_HV must be set.

Do you suggest moving to upper if, i.e.

        } else if (ib_mac_rsp->flags3 & IB_MAC_IOCB_RSP_DL && ib_mac_rsp->flags4 & IB_MAC_IOCB_RSP_HS) {

and then deleting the else statement?

I have a rule that when people whinge about commit messages they should
write a better one themselves, but I have violated my own rule.  Sorry.
Here is my suggestion:

    If the "ib_mac_rsp->flags3 & IB_MAC_IOCB_RSP_DL" condition is true
    then we know that "ib_mac_rsp->flags4 & IB_MAC_IOCB_RSP_HS" must be
    true as well.  Thus, we can remove that condition and delete the
    else statement which is dead code.

    (Originally this code was for the case that "the headers and data are
    in a single large buffer". However, qlge_process_mac_split_rx_intr
    is for handling packets that packets underwent head splitting).

TBH, I don't know the code well enough to understand the second
paragraph but the first paragraph is straight forward.
