Hi:

tun: Optimise handling of bogus gso->hdr_len

As all current versions of virtio_net generate a value for the
header length that's too small, we should optimise this so that
we don't copy it twice.  This can be done by ensuring that it is
at least as large as the place where we'll write the checksum.

Cheers,
