veth: implement ndo_set_rx_headroom The rx headroom for veth dev is the peer device needed_headroom. Avoid ping-pong updates setting the private flag IFF_PHONY_HEADROOM. This avoids skb head reallocation when forwarding from a veth dev towards a device adding some kind of encapsulation. When transmitting frames below the MTU size towards a vxlan device, this gives about 10% performance speed-up when OVS is used to connect the veth and the vxlan device and a little more when using a plain Linux bridge.
