ixgbe: Remove code that was initializing Rx page offset
This change reverts an earlier patch that introduced ixgbe_init_rx_page_offset. The idea behind the function was to provide some variation in the starting offset for the page in order to reduce hot-spots in the cache. However it doesn't appear to provide any significant benefit in the testing I have done. It has however been a source of several bugs, and it blocks us from being able to use 2K fragments on larger page sizes. So the decision I made was to remove it.
