The eth_hlen_pp and eth_hlen needs to memset zero now.

Instead of adding two more ethhdrs, just reuse the current eth_hlen and
define it as 'struct ethhdr eth_hlen;' instead of a char array.
Add 'h_proto' to the anonymous 'struct { } tests[]'. Initialize
the eth_hlen.h_proto based on the tests[i].h_proto.

Also, this test does not actually reproduce the reading uninit memeory.
It needs a bpf prog to actually trigger it by calling bpf_skb_adjust_room()
based on the report in the "Closes" link. The test should be able
to trigger it without the change in test_run.c

The ai-review has flagged again that it is missing a "Fixes" tag. This
probably started since the bpf_skb_adjust_room helper was introduced.

The selftests should also be in a separate patch 2 following the patch 1
changes in test_run.c.
