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

Similar to previous patch, I don't think this patch is significant
enough to warrant the code churn.
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.
