Subject: [PATCH 7/7] netfilter: nf_tables_netdev: remove redundant ip_hdr assignment

From: Liping Zhang <liping.zhang@...eadtrum.com>

We have already use skb_header_pointer to get the ip header pointer,
so there's no need to use ip_hdr again. Moreover, in NETDEV INGRESS
hook, ip header maybe not linear, so use ip_hdr is not appropriate,
remove it.
