[ Upstream commit 0ffba246652faf4a36aedc66059c2f94e4c83ea5 ]

igc_xmit_frame() misses updating skb->tail when the packet size is
shorter than the minimum one.
Use skb_put_padto() in alignment with other Intel Ethernet drivers.

Fixes: 0507ef8a0372 ("igc: Add transmit and receive fastpath and interrupt handlers")
