Subject: [PATCH net v6 1/2] virtio-net: correct hdr_len handling for VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_HDRLEN

The commit be50da3e9d4a ("net: virtio_net: implement exact header length
guest feature") introduces support for the VIRTIO_NET_F_GUEST_HDRLEN
feature in virtio-net.

This feature requires virtio-net to set hdr_len to the actual header
length of the packet when transmitting, the number of
bytes from the start of the packet to the beginning of the
transport-layer payload.

However, in practice, hdr_len was being set using skb_headlen(skb),
which is clearly incorrect. This commit fixes that issue.

Fixes: be50da3e9d4a ("net: virtio_net: implement exact header length guest feature")
