This random series addresses some of suboptimal constructions used

The main body is gro_list_prepare() simplification and pointer usage
optimization in dev_gro_receive() itself. Being mostly cosmetic, it
gives like +10 Mbps on my setup to both TCP and UDP (both single- and
multi-flow).
Since v1 [0]:
- drop the replacement of bucket index calculation with
reciprocal_scale() since it makes absolutely no sense (Eric);
- improve stack usage in dev_gro_receive() (Eric);
- reverse the order of patches to avoid changes superseding.
