net/mlx5e: Fix small packet threshold
RX packet headers are meant to be contained in SKB linear part, and chose a threshold of 128. It turns out this is not enough, i.e. for IPv6 packet over VxLAN. In this case, UDP/IPv4 needs 42 bytes, GENEVE header is 8 bytes, and 86 bytes for TCP/IPv6. In total 136 bytes that is more than current 128 bytes. In this case expand header flow is reached. The warning in skb_try_coalesce() caused by a wrong truesize was already fixed here: commit 158f323b ("net: adjust skb->truesize in pskb_expand_head()"). Still, we prefer to totally avoid the expand header flow for performance reasons. Tested regular TCP_STREAM with iperf for 1 and 8 streams, no degradation was found.
