[dpdk-dev,v2] net/virtio: fix wrong TX pkt length stats

  In the function virtqueue_enqueue_xmit(), when can_push is true,
vtnet_hdr_size is added to pkt_len by calling rte_pktmbuf_prepend.
So, virtio header length should be subtracted before calling stats
function.

Fixes: 58169a9c8153 ("net/virtio: support Tx checksum offload")

I actually meant to put it inside the "if (can_push)" clause, so that you
don't have to add yet another if. The another reason I wanted you to do
the move is, rte_pktmbuf_prepend (which did the magic) is exactly invoked
inside this if. Such move puts logical related code tight together. At least,
you could make the comment simpler: you don't have to say "when can_push
is true ...". Instead, it could be:

    /*
     * rte_pktmbuf_prepend() counts the hdr size to the pkt length,
     * which is wrong. Below subtract restores the correct pkt size.
     */

You are right.  I mistakenly think that cookie->pkt_len will be used to transmit pkts .
Actually cookie->data_len will is used when filling the descriptors.
No problem. V3 will be sent soon.
