RE: [PATCH net-next] mlx4_en: dont change mac_header on xmit

A driver xmit function is not allowed to change skb without special
care.

mlx4_en_xmit() should not call skb_reset_mac_header() and instead should
use skb->data to access ethernet header.

This removes a dumb test : if (ethh && ethh->h_dest)

Also remove this slow mlx4_en_mac_to_u64() call, we can use
get_unaligned() to get faster code.
