This is not needed. I think we should clean up ice instead.

Drivers are supposed to have allocated the skb (using
napi_get_frags()) before calling napi_gro_frags()

Only napi_gro_frags() would return GRO_DROP, but we supposedly could
crash at that point, since a driver is clearly buggy.

We probably can remove GRO_DROP completely, assuming lazy drivers are fixed.
