Well, let me explain.

A few lines above, there is:

    ph = rte_pktmbuf_prepend(mb, hlen - l2len);

The L2 header is already pulled from the packet, then the packet
length has nothing to do with hdr_l3_off from this point, so use encap
header length instead.
You are right sa->hdr_len already includes the size of UDP header, and
that's why it should be added back here.

Again sa->hdr_len includes UDP header, which is not part of L3, so use
the original prm->tun.hdr_len.
