[PATCH net-next 1/2] r8152: add CONFIG_RTL8152_EARLY_AGG_SUPER

[Hayes Wang]

For slow CPU, the frequent bulk transfer would cause poor throughput.
One solution is to increase the timeout of the aggregation. It let
the hw could complete the bulk transfer later and fill more packets
into the buffer. Besides, it could reduce the frequency of the bulk
transfer efficiently and improve the performance.

However, the optimization value of the timeout depends on the
capability of the hardware, especially the CPU. For example, according
to the experiment, the value 0x0e835000 is better than the default
value for the chromebook with the ARM CPU.

Now add CONFIG_RTL8152_EARLY_AGG_SUPER to let someone could choose
desired timeout value if he wants to get the best performance.
