r8169: work around RTL8125 UDP hw bug

It was reported that on RTL8125 network breaks under heavy UDP load,
e.g. torrent traffic ([0], from comment 27). Realtek confirmed a hw bug
and provided me with a test version of the r8125 driver including a
workaround. Tests confirmed that the workaround fixes the issue.
I modified the original version of the workaround to meet mainline
code style.

v2:
- rebased to net
v3:
- make rtl_skb_is_udp() more robust and use skb_header_pointer()
  to access the ip(v6) header
v4:
- remove dependency on ptp_classify.h
- replace magic number with offsetof(struct udphdr, len)

Fixes: f1bce4ad
