Changing alignment of header would mean it's no longer safe to cast a
2 byte aligned pointer between formats. Use two 16 bit fields to make
it 2 byte aligned as previously.
This fixes the performance regression since
commit ("virtio_net: enable gso over UDP tunnel support.") as it uses
virtio_net_hdr_v1_hash_tunnel which embeds
virtio_net_hdr_v1_hash. Pktgen in guest + XDP_DROP on TAP + vhost_net
shows the TX PPS is recovered from 2.4Mpps to 4.45Mpps.
