iwlwifi: mvm: pull SNAP header into skb->head

When we pre-populate the skb->head for the stack, we only pull
in the 802.11 header including crypto (assuming the packet isn't
short enough to be in there completely.) This is fine, but in
ieee80211_data_to_8023() we later unconditionally pull 8 more
bytes for the SNAP header and ethertype field (except for mesh
or 4-addr, where it's even more, but we don't care as much about
them).

Avoid the additional later pull by pulling in those 8 bytes here.
