ixgbe: fix header len when unsplit packet overflows to data buffer

Browse source

When in packet split mode, packet type is not recognized, and the packet is
larger than the header size, the 82599 overflows the packet into the data
area, but doesn't set the HDR_LEN field.  We can safely assume the length
is the current header size.  This fixes an obscure corner case that can be
triggered by non-ip packet headers or (more likely) by disabling the L2
packet recognition.
