[PATCH v3 2/7] net: moxa: fix build_skb() memory corruption

DMA buffer memory must be synchronized and copied before passing skb to
napi_gro_receive(). The use of build_skb() can lead to memory corruption,
replace it with netdev_alloc_skb_ip_align() and memcpy().

Notes:
This fixes the following error on wget download (or ncftp),
usually after only a few seconds:
"read error: Bad address"
On receiving this error, wget exits. The download is not resumed (busybox default).
