When using encapsulation the original packet's headers are copied to the
inner headers. This preserves the space for an inner mac header, which
is not used by the inner payloads for the encapsulation types supported
by IPVS. If a packet is using GUE or GRE encapsulation and needs to be
segmented, flow can be passed to __skb_udp_tunnel_segment() which
calculates a negative tunnel header length. A negative tunnel header
length causes pskb_may_pull() to fail, dropping the packet.
This can be observed by attaching probes to ip_vs_in_hook(),
__dev_queue_xmit(), and __skb_udp_tunnel_segment():
perf probe --add '__dev_queue_xmit skb->inner_mac_header \
skb->inner_network_header skb->mac_header skb->network_header'
perf probe --add '__skb_udp_tunnel_segment:7 tnl_hlen'
perf probe -m ip_vs --add 'ip_vs_in_hook skb->inner_mac_header \
skb->inner_network_header skb->mac_header skb->network_header'
These probes the headers and tunnel header length for packets which
traverse the IPVS encapsulation path. A TCP packet can be forced into
the segmentation path by being smaller than a calculated clamped MSS,
but larger than the advertised MSS.

When using veth-based encapsulation, the interfaces are set to be
mac-less, which does not preserve space for an inner mac header. This
prevents this issue from occurring.
In our real-world testing of sending a 32KB file we observed operation
time increasing from ~75ms for veth-based encapsulation to over 1.5s
using IPVS encapsulation due to retries from dropped packets.
This changeset modifies the packet on the encapsulation path in
ip_vs_tunnel_xmit() and ip_vs_tunnel_xmit_v6() to remove the inner mac
header offset. This fixes UDP segmentation for both encapsulation types,
and corrects the inner headers for any IPIP flows that may use it.
