I saw your suggestions, though I didn't reply directly. I proceeded to adjust
the code based on my understanding of your feedback, but it appears my
understanding was incorrect. After re-reading your suggestions, I think
virtio_net_hdr_from_skb does not need to be changed. Instead, within
virtio_net_hdr_tnl_from_skb, we should directly call the device header length
function based on whether the feature is negotiated.

Thanks.
