[NET]: loopback driver can use loopback_dev integrated net_device_stats

Rusty added a new 'stats' field to struct net_device.

loopback driver can use it instead of declaring another struct
net_device_stats This saves some memory.

[SK_BUFF]: Introduce skb_reset_network_header(skb)

For the common, open coded 'skb->nh.raw = skb->data' operation, so that we can
later turn skb->nh.raw into a offset, reducing the size of struct sk_buff in
64bit land while possibly keeping it as a pointer on 32bit.

This one touches just the most simple case, next will handle the slightly more
"complex" cases.
