From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx>
ax88179_tx_fixup() has quite complex code trying to push 8 bytes
of control data (len/mss), but fails to do it properly for TCP packets,
incurring an extra copy and point of memory allocation failure.
Lets use the simple and approved way.
dev->needed_headroom being 8, all frames should have 8 bytes of
headroom, so the extra copy should be unlikely anyway.
This patch should improve performance for TCP xmits.
