[PATCH] tg3: fix ipv6 header length computation

[PATCH] tg3: fix ipv6 header length computation

[Eric Dumazet]

tg3_start_xmit() makes the wrong assumption for TSOV6 that skb->head
doesnt include any payload data.

if (skb_is_gso_v6(skb))
	hdr_len = skb_headlen(skb) - ETH_HLEN;

This is not true anymore after commit f07d960df3 (tcp: avoid frag
allocation for small frames)

We should instead use : skb_transport_offset(skb) + tcp_hdrlen(skb)

Its also true for IPv4

I dont have a compatable hardware (5755_PLUS ?) so please guys test
this...

I've applied this, if testing finds problems we can fix it up or revert.
