[PATCH v2 1/1] net: fix inner L2 length for GRE and NVGRE

Inner l2 length needs to be updated to include GRE and NVGRE
headers. Not updating this would cause failures for applications
which would be expecting l2_len field to be valid for
inner checksum offload cases.

Fixes: 76730c7b9b5a ("app/testpmd: use packet type parsing API")
