[PATCH net-next v3 1/7] bcm63xx_enet: batch process rx path

[Sieng Piaw Liew]

Use netif_receive_skb_list to batch process rx skb.
Tested on BCM6328 320 MHz using iperf3 -M 512, increasing performance
by 12.5%.

Before:
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bandwidth       Retr
[  4]   0.00-30.00  sec   120 MBytes  33.7 Mbits/sec  277         sender
[  4]   0.00-30.00  sec   120 MBytes  33.5 Mbits/sec            receiver

After:
[ ID] Interval           Transfer     Bandwidth       Retr
[  4]   0.00-30.00  sec   136 MBytes  37.9 Mbits/sec  203         sender
[  4]   0.00-30.00  sec   135 MBytes  37.7 Mbits/sec            receiver
