net: ravb: Allocate RX buffers via page pool

This patch makes multiple changes that can't be separated:

  1) Allocate plain RX buffers via a page pool instead of allocating
     SKBs, then use build_skb() when a packet is received.
  2) For GbEth IP, reduce the RX buffer size to 2kB.
  3) For GbEth IP, merge packets which span more than one RX descriptor
     as SKB fragments instead of copying data.

Implementing (1) without (2) would require the use of an order-1 page
pool (instead of an order-0 page pool split into page fragments) for
GbEth.

Implementing (2) without (3) would leave us no space to re-assemble
packets which span more than one RX descriptor.

Implementing (3) without (1) would not be possible as the network stack
expects to use put_page() or page_pool_put_page() to free SKB fragments
after an SKB is consumed.

RX checksum offload support is adjusted to handle both linear and
nonlinear (fragmented) packets.

This patch gives the following improvements during testing with iperf3.

  * RZ/G2L:
    * TCP RX: same bandwidth at -43% CPU load (70% -> 40%)
    * UDP RX: same bandwidth at -17% CPU load (88% -> 74%)

  * RZ/G2UL:
    * TCP RX: +30% bandwidth (726Mbps -> 941Mbps)
    * UDP RX: +417% bandwidth (108Mbps -> 558Mbps)

  * RZ/G3S:
    * TCP RX: +64% bandwidth (562Mbps -> 920Mbps)
    * UDP RX: +420% bandwidth (90Mbps -> 468Mbps)

  * RZ/Five:
    * TCP RX: +217% bandwidth (145Mbps -> 459Mbps)
    * UDP RX: +470% bandwidth (20Mbps -> 114Mbps)

There is no significant impact on bandwidth or CPU load in testing on
RZ/G2H or R-Car M3N.
