Sorry for the delay. I'm busy testing the TC module recently. I'm very
sorry for the user-space breakage.

The root cause of this problem is that eth_type_trans() is called when
the protocol type of the SKB is parsed. The len value of the SKB is
reduced to 0. If the user mode requires that the forwarding succeed, or
if the MAC header is added again after the MAC header is subtracted,
is this appropriate?
