Marek Behún 7b31c2e9ed kernel: Backport mvneta crash fix to 5.15
Backport Russell King's series [1]
  net: mvneta: reduce size of TSO header allocation
to pending-5.15 to fix random crashes on Turris Omnia.

This also backports two patches that are dependencies to this series:
  net: mvneta: Delete unused variable
  net: mvneta: fix potential double-frees in mvneta_txq_sw_deinit()

The hardware queue scheduling is apparently configured with fixed
priorities, which creates a nasty fairness issue where traffic from one
CPU can starve traffic from all other CPUs.
Work around this issue by forcing all tx packets to go through one CPU,
until this issue is fixed properly.
