gro: Optimise Ethernet header comparison

This patch optimises the Ethernet header comparison to use 2-byte
and 4-byte xors instead of memcmp.  In order to facilitate this,
the actual comparison is now carried out by the callers of the
shared dev_gro_receive function.

This has a significant impact when receiving 1500B packets through
10GbE.
