veth: Fix the byte counters
Commit 44540960 "veth: move loopback logic to common location" introduced
a bug in the packet counters. I don't understand why that happened as it
is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb
retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet.
I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two
noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between
the two. I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were
exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction. I got the actual
packet lengths with tcpdump.
So remove the extra ETH_HLEN from the veth byte count totals.
