When native XDP redirect into a veth device, the frame arrives in the xdp_frame structure. It is then processed in veth_xdp_rcv_one(), which can run a new XDP bpf_prog on the packet. Doing so requires converting xdp_frame to xdp_buff, but the tricky part is that xdp_frame memory area is located in the top (data_hard_start) memory area that xdp_buff will point into. The current code tried to protect the xdp_frame area, by assigning xdp_buff.data_hard_start past this memory. This results in 32 bytes less headroom to expand into via BPF-helper bpf_xdp_adjust_head(). This protect step is actually not needed, because BPF-helper bpf_xdp_adjust_head() already reserve this area, and don't allow BPF-prog to expand into it. Thus, it is safe to point data_hard_start directly at xdp_frame memory area.
