The patch does a null mangle of every 2nd packet (packet is unchanged but
pktb->mangled is set).
Mangling every 2nd packet tests all code paths, but turns out to be essential
for IPv6 on the 'lo' interface, but because such packets always have "checksum
not ready"; and the kernel insists that mangled packets have a good checksum.
So every second UDP is lost, while TCP gets through on the retransmit.
The static functions at the front really belong in the appropriate libraries.

Second IOV covers packet data.
Third IOV covers padding after packet data (if required).
The count in the nlmsg header indexes attributes until all are added.
Add packet data length and pad length to count before sending to kernel.
Without packet data, there is one IOV.
