[PATCH v2] gro: bug fix in identifying 0 length tcp packets

From: Kumara Parameshwaran <kumaraparamesh92 at gmail.com>

As the minimum Ethernet frame size is 64 bytes, a 0 length
tcp payload without tcp options would be 54 bytes and hence
there would be padding. So it would be incorrect to use the
packet length to determine the tcp data length.

v1:
	Do not use packet length to determine the tcp data length as 
	the packet length could have padded bytes. This would lead 
	to addition of 0 length tcp packets into the GRO layer when 
	there ethernet fram is padded.
v2:
	Since using ip packet length to determine the tcp data length, 
	validate the ip packet length
