gve: pull network headers into skb linear part

Currently, in DQO mode with hw-gro enabled, entire received packet is
placed into skb fragments when header-split is disabled. This leaves
the skb linear part empty, forcing the networking stack to do multiple
small memory copies to access eth, IP and TCP headers.

This patch adds a single memcpy to put all headers into linear portion
before packet reaches the SW GRO stack; thus eliminating multiple
smaller memcpy calls.

Additionally, the criteria for calling napi_gro_frags() was updated.
Since skb->head is now populated, we instead check if the SKB is the
cached NAPI scratchpad to ensure we continue using the zero-allocation
path.
