Linux Virtualization - Nov 2014 - [PATCH v4 21/42] virtio_net: get rid of virtio_net_hdr/skb_vnet_hdr

virtio 1.0 doesn't use virtio_net_hdr anymore, and in fact, it's not
really useful since virtio_net_hdr_mrg_rxbuf includes that as the first
field anyway.

Let's drop it, precalculate header len and store within vi instead.

This way we can also remove struct skb_vnet_hdr.

sizeof without () looks weird to me.

It's how it was originally, so I think I'd rather keep it.
I kind of like it too: it stresses the fact that sizeof is not a function
and so does not actually dereference the pointer
even though it looks like it does.

We can change it with a patch on top, but should then be changed
everywhere in this file.
