ibmvnic: Reduce memcpys in tx descriptor generation

Previously when creating the header descriptors, the driver would:
1. allocate a temporary buffer on the stack (in build_hdr_descs_arr)
2. memcpy the header info into the temporary buffer (in build_hdr_data)
3. memcpy the temp buffer into a local variable (in create_hdr_descs)
4. copy the local variable into the return buffer (in create_hdr_descs)

Since, there is no opportunity for errors during this process, the temp
buffer is not needed and work can be done on the return buffer directly.

Repurpose build_hdr_data() to only calculate the header lengths. Rename
it to get_hdr_lens().
Edit create_hdr_descs() to read from the skb directly and copy directly
into the returned useful buffer.

The process now involves less memory and write operations while
also being more readable.
