e1000e: Minimum packet size must be 17 bytes

Browse Source 
This is a HW requirement. Although a buffer as short as 1 byte is allowed,
the total length of packet before, padding and CRC insertion, must be at
least 17 bytes.  So pad all small packets manually up to 17 bytes before
delivering them to HW.
