net: ionic: map SKB after pseudo-header checksum prep

The TSO path called ionic_tx_map_skb() before preparing the TCP pseudo
checksum (ionic_tx_tcp_[inner_]pseudo_csum()), which may perform
skb_cow_head() and might modifies bytes in the linear header area.

Mapping first and then mutating the header risks:
  - Using a stale DMA address if skb_cow_head() relocates the head, and/or
  - Device reading stale header bytes on weakly-ordered systems
    (CPU writes after mapping are not guaranteed visible without an
    explicit dma_sync_single_for_device()).

Reorder the TX path to perform all header mutations (including
skb_cow_head()) *before* DMA mapping. Mapping is now done only after the
skb layout and header contents are final. This removes the need for any
post-mapping dma_sync and prevents on-wire corruption observed under
VLAN+TSO load after repeated runs.

This change is purely an ordering fix; no functional behavior change
otherwise.
