Subject: [net-next 05/14] igb: Correcting and improving small packet check and padding

From: Tushar Dave <tushar.n.dave@...el.com>

Current implementation mess up the tail pointer. This patch sets skb->tail
correctly.
Also, the small packet check and padding is optimized by using unlikely and
calling skb_pad directly.
