Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v3 02/17] i40e: Call skb_metadata_set when
 skb->data points at metadata end

Prepare to track skb metadata location independently of MAC header offset.

Following changes will make skb_metadata_set() record where metadata ends
relative to skb->head. Hence the helper must be called when skb->data
already points past the metadata area.

Adjust the driver to pull from skb->data before calling skb_metadata_set().
