[PATCH net v1] net: gro: avoid nesting GSO skbs in skb_gro_receive_list()

On devices that support both NETIF_F_GRO_HW and NETIF_F_GRO_FRAGLIST,
the hardware or driver may deliver packets that have already been
aggregated into a GSO skb, either with frags[] or frag_list. GRO may
then
aggregate the skb again in skb_gro_receive_list().

This can create a nested GSO skb, which is not handled correctly by the
later GSO segmentation paths. When the skb is segmented by
skb_segment_list(), it not be fully restored to the original packets.

If the skb is marked with SKB_GSO_DODGY before segmentation, for example
after a protocol change from IPv6 to IPv4, the nested GSO skb is
segmented
by skb_segment(), which may hit a NULL pointer dereference when the skb
contains a nested frag_list.

Avoid this by setting NAPI_GRO_CB(skb)->flush for GSO skbs before
aggregation and by checking the flush flag in skb_gro_receive_list(),
following the existing logic in skb_gro_receive().
