[PULL 28/29] net/vmnet: Pad short Ethernet frames

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

From: William Hooper <wsh@wshooper.org>

At least on macOS 12.7.2, vmnet doesn't pad Ethernet frames, such as the
host's ARP replies, to the minimum size (60 bytes before the frame check
sequence) defined in IEEE Std 802.3-2022, so guests' Ethernet device
drivers may drop them with "frame too short" errors.

This patch calls eth_pad_short_frame() to add padding, as in net/tap.c
and net/slirp.c. Thanks to Bin Meng, Philippe Mathieu-Daudé, and Phil
Dennis-Jordan for reviewing earlier versions.
