Subject: bnx2x: record rx queue for LRO packets
From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 60e66fee56b2256dcb1dc2ea1b2ddcb6e273857d ]
RPS support is kind of broken on bnx2x, because only non LRO packets
get proper rx queue information. This triggers reorders, as it seems
bnx2x like to generate a non LRO packet for segment including TCP PUSH
flag : (this might be pure coincidence, but all the reorders I've
seen involve segments with a PUSH)

We must call skb_record_rx_queue() to properly give to RPS (and more
generally for TX queue selection on forward path) the receive queue
information.
Similar fix is needed for skb_mark_napi_id(), but will be handled
in a separate patch to ease stable backports.
