net: eth_type_trans() should use skb_header_pointer()
eth_type_trans() can read uninitialized memory as drivers do not necessarily pull more than 14 bytes in skb->head before calling it. As David suggested, we can use skb_header_pointer() to fix this without breaking some drivers that might not expect eth_type_trans() pulling 2 additional bytes.
