gve: fix zero-length skb frag with header-split

When header split is enabled and a header-only packet is
received such as a pure TCP ACK, GVE will indicate an
RX SKB with a zero-length fragment. If this SKB is then
hairpinned and sent back out, the GVE TX path will emit
a zero-length descriptor. Hardware considers this
an illegal descriptor and stops the queue, causing a
TX timeout and interface reset.

Fix it by not adding the zero-length skb frag.
