I have to update this part. The commit 600adc18 evicts and flushes the
oldest flow. But for the current kernel, when
"napi->gro_hash[hash].count >= MAX_GRO_SKBS" happens, the
gro_flush_oldest() flushes the oldest skb of one certain flow,
actually it is the newest skb because it is at the end of the list.
