When an XDP program changes the ethernet header protocol field,
eth_type_trans is used to recalculate skb->protocol. In order for
eth_type_trans to work correctly, the ethernet header must actually be
part of the skb data segment, so the code first pushes that onto the
head of the skb. However, it subsequently forgets to pull it back off,
making the behavior of the passed-on packet inconsistent between the
protocol modifying case and the static protocol case. This patch fixes
the issue by simply pulling the ethernet header back off of the skb
head.
