In RFC1213, the tcpInSegs is the total number of segments received.
While currently it is the total number of SKBs received.
The number of SKBs may be not equal with the numer of segments because of
GRO.
So fix this error count.

We have discussed this in the past and the consensus was it was too
late to change this.

IP counters have the same issue, so after your patch, we would have
quite a difference between transport and network layers.

Adding all these max_t(u16, 1, skb_shinfo(skb)->gso_segs)) everywhere add a cost

May be we could give a comment here why we do it like this, otherwise
it may make a misunderstanding.

Thanks
