veth: Fix the byte counters

Commit 44540960 "veth: move loopback logic to common location" introduced
a bug in the packet counters.  I don't understand why that happened as it
is not explained in the comments and the mut check in dev_forward_skb
retains the assumption that skb->len is the total length of the packet.

I just measured this emperically by setting up a veth pair between two
noop network namespaces setting and attempting a telnet connection between
the two.  I saw three packets in each direction and the byte counters were
exactly 14*3 = 42 bytes high in each direction.  I got the actual
packet lengths with tcpdump.

So remove the extra ETH_HLEN from the veth byte count totals.
