gro: Open-code frags copy in skb_gro_receive

gcc does a poor job at generating code for the memcpy of the frags
array in skb_gro_receive, which is the primary purpose of that
function when merging frags.  In particular, it can't utilise the
alignment information of the source and destination.  This patch
open-codes the copy so we process words instead of bytes.
