[dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3] net/virtio: fix wrong TX pkt length stats

In the function virtqueue_enqueue_xmit(), when can_push is true,
vtnet_hdr_size is added to pkt_len by calling rte_pktmbuf_prepend.
which is wrong for pkt stats, virtio header length should be subtracted
before calling stats function.

Fixes: 58169a9c8153 ("net/virtio: support Tx checksum offload")
