gro: Fix use after free in tcp_gro_receive 

After calling skb_gro_receive skb->len can no longer be relied
on since if the skb was merged using frags, then its pages will
have been removed and the length reduced.

This caused tcp_gro_receive to prematurely end merging which
resulted in suboptimal performance with ixgbe.

The fix is to store skb->len on the stack.
