[PATCH] fix aoe without scatter-gather [Bug 7662]

Fix a bug that only appears when AoE goes over a network card that does not
support scatter-gather.  The headers in the linear part of the skb appeared
to be larger than they really were, resulting in data that was offset by 24
bytes.

This patch eliminates the offset data on cards that don't support
scatter-gather or have had scatter-gather turned off.  There remains an
unrelated issue that I'll address in a separate email.

Fixes bugzilla #7662
