[ Upstream commit 82eaa1fa0448da1852d7b80832e67e80a08dcc27 ]
At Innova IPsec TX offload data path a special software parser metadata is used to pass some packet attributes to the hardware, this metadata is passed using the Ethernet control segment of a WQE (a HW descriptor) header.
The cited commit might nullify this header, hence the metadata is lost, this caused a significant performance drop during hw offloading operation.
Fix by restoring the metadata at the Ethernet control segment in case it was nullified.
