selftests/bpf: Avoid subtraction after htons() in ipip tests
On little-endian systems, doing subtraction after htons()
leads to interesting results:
Given:
MAGIC_BYTES = 123 = 0x007B aka. in big endian: 0x7B00 = 31488
sizeof(struct iphdr) = 20
Before this patch:
__bpf_constant_htons(MAGIC_BYTES) - sizeof(struct iphdr) = 0x7AEC
0x7AEC = htons(0xEC7A) = htons(60538)
So these were outer IP packets with a total length of 123 bytes,
containing an inner IP packet with a total length of 60538 bytes.
After this patch:
__bpf_constant_htons(MAGIC_BYTES - sizeof(struct iphdr)) = htons(103)
Now these packets are outer IP packets with a total length of 123 bytes,
containing an inner IP packet with a total length of 103 bytes.
