gro: Fix use after free in tcp_gro_receive
After calling skb_gro_receive skb->len can no longer be relied on since if the skb was merged using frags, then its pages will have been removed and the length reduced. This caused tcp_gro_receive to prematurely end merging which resulted in suboptimal performance with ixgbe. The fix is to store skb->len on the stack.
