That's only because I was calling __napi_complete, which is used
by drivers in general so I added the check to ensure that GRO
packets have been flushed.  Now that we're open-coding it this is
no longer a requirement.

But what's more GRO should be off on Ingo's test machines because
we haven't added anything to turn it on by default for non-NAPI
drivers.
