Remove linux-compat loopback hacks from packet endpoint
Previously, gVisor did not represent loopback devices as an ethernet device as Linux does. To maintain Linux API compatibility for packet sockets, a workaround was used to add an ethernet header if a link header was not already present in the packet buffer delivered to a packet endpoint. However, this workaround is a bug for non-ethernet based interfaces; not all links use an ethernet header (e.g. pure L3/TUN interfaces). As of 3b4bb947517d0d9010120aaa1c3989fd6abf278e, gVisor represents loopback devices as an ethernet-based device so this workaround can now be removed. BUG: https://fxbug.dev/81592 Updates #6530, #6531. PiperOrigin-RevId: 395819151
