We currently assume that the size reported by the network driver
reflects the number of bytes actually transmitted over the wire, but
this is apparently not always the case, at least for the barebox cpsw
and smc95xx drivers. These don't handle hardware checksum offloading
correctly and thus pass extraneous checksum bytes inserted by the
hardware to the network stack as if these were part of the transmitted
frame.
These drivers will be fixed in follow-up commits, but on the off-chance
more drivers are affected, let's use the size reported in the IP header
when doing IP packet processing.
As the old size is needed to dump the packet in net_bad_packet(), this
is moved inside the new function.
