Agree on the problem, need a way to flush existing packets in GRO
context when no more packet receiving.

Rest of the function expects 'nb_rx' non zero, so I am concerned about
unexpected side effects, like:

- GRO reassembles packets and flush, how reassembles behaves with zero
nb_rx?

- If there is no packet in GRO context, what happens to call with zero
nb_rx?


To address above issue, what about add 'rte_gro_get_pkt_count()' check
and only continue if it return not zero.
Also in below GRO block, call 'rte_gro_reassemble()' only when 'nb_rx'
is not zero.

'goto' can be prevented by changing the condition in if block.

Label name 'init' is not a good name.
