tcp_vu_send_flag() and tcp_vu_prepare() set several header fields
that are unconditionally overwritten by tcp_fill_headers() or
tcp_prepare_flags() shortly after.
This series removes:
1. eh->h_proto assignments in both tcp_vu_send_flag() and
tcp_vu_prepare(), overwritten by tcp_fill_headers()
2. eh->h_source memcpy in tcp_vu_send_flag(), overwritten by
eth_update_mac() called from tcp_fill_headers()
3. th->doff and th->ack assignments in tcp_vu_send_flag(),
overwritten by tcp_prepare_flags()
Laurent Vivier (3):
tcp_vu: Remove redundant eh->h_proto assignments
tcp_vu: Remove redundant eh->h_source assignment in tcp_vu_send_flag()
tcp_vu: Remove redundant th->doff and th->ack in tcp_vu_send_flag()

tcp_fill_headers() unconditionally sets eh->h_proto based on whether
ip4h or ip6h is non-NULL. The assignments in tcp_vu_send_flag() and
tcp_vu_prepare() are therefore redundant and can be removed.

tcp_fill_headers() calls eth_update_mac(eh, NULL, omac) which
unconditionally overwrites eh->h_source. The prior memcpy() setting
it to c->our_tap_mac is therefore redundant.

tcp_prepare_flags() unconditionally sets th->doff and th->ack, so
setting them right after the memset() is redundant.
