Commit c0eb454034 ("hv_netvsc: Don't ask for additional head room in the
skb") got rid of needed_headroom setting for the driver. With the change I
hit the following issue trying to use ptkgen module:
[ 57.522021] kernel BUG at net/core/skbuff.c:1128!

Basically, we're calling skb_cow_head(skb, RNDIS_AND_PPI_SIZE) and crash on
if (skb_shared(skb))
BUG();
We probably need to restore needed_headroom setting (but shrunk to
RNDIS_AND_PPI_SIZE as we don't need more) to request the required headroom
space. In theory, it should not give us performance penalty.
