[PATCH net v5 2/2] virtio-net: correct hdr_len handling for tunnel gso

The commit a2fb4bc4e2a6a03 ("net: implement virtio helpers to handle UDP
GSO tunneling.") introduces support for the UDP GSO tunnel feature in
virtio-net.

The virtio spec says:

    If the \field{gso_type} has the VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_IPV4 bit or
    VIRTIO_NET_HDR_GSO_UDP_TUNNEL_IPV6 bit set, \field{hdr_len} accounts for
    all the headers up to and including the inner transport.

The commit did not update the hdr_len to include the inner transport.

I observed that the "hdr_len" is 116 for this packet:

    17:36:18.241105 52:55:00:d1:27:0a > 2e:2c:df:46:a9:e1, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 2912: (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 45197, offset 0, flags [none], proto UDP (17), length 2898)
        192.168.122.100.50613 > 192.168.122.1.4789: [bad udp cksum 0x8106 -> 0x26a0!] VXLAN, flags [I] (0x08), vni 1
    fa:c3:ba:82:05:ee > ce:85:0c:31:77:e5, ethertype IPv4 (0x0800), length 2862: (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 14678, offset 0, flags [DF], proto TCP (6), length 2848)
        192.168.3.1.49880 > 192.168.3.2.9898: Flags [P.], cksum 0x9266 (incorrect -> 0xaa20), seq 515667:518463, ack 1, win 64, options [nop,nop,TS val 2990048824 ecr 2798801412], length 2796

116 = 14(mac) + 20(ip) + 8(udp) + 8(vxlan) + 14(inner mac) + 20(inner ip) + 32(innner tcp)
