Oops, forgot the #else case.

GRO: Move netpoll checks to correct location

As my netpoll fix for net doesn't really work for net-next, we
need this update to move the checks into the right place.  As it
stands we may pass freed skbs to netpoll_receive_skb.

This patch also introduces a netpoll_rx_on function to avoid GRO
completely if we're invoked through netpoll.  This might seem
paranoid but as netpoll may have an external receive hook it's
better to be safe than sorry.  I don't think we need this for
2.6.29 though since there's nothing immediately broken by it.

This patch also moves the GRO_* return values to netdevice.h since
VLAN needs them too (I tried to avoid this originally but alas
this seems to be the easiest way out).  This fixes a bug in VLAN
where it continued to use the old return value 2 instead of the
correct GRO_DROP.

Probably I miss something, but you seem to assume here this skb will
be taken by netpoll later. But if it's not active (trapped) vlan
packet will be passed as "normal"?

Thanks,
