hdr_len is repeatedly used so keep it in a local variable.

The following patch will require replacing tap16_to_cpu(q, vnet_hdr.hdr_len) with tap16_to_cpu(q->flags, vnet_hdr.hdr_len) It will make some lines a bit too long. Calling tap16_to_cpu() at multiple places is also not good to keep the vnet implementation unified as the function inspects vnet_hdr. This patch is independently too trivial, but I think it is a worthwhile cleanup combined with the following patch.
