b44: fix misalignment and wasted space in rx handling

Broadcom 4400 puts a header of configurable size (apparently needs
to be at least 28 bytes) in front of received packets. When handling
this, the previous code accidentally added the offset 30 *twice* for
the software and once for the hardware, thereby cancelling out the
IP alignment effect of the 30 byte padding and wasting an additional
30 bytes of memory per packet.

This patch fixes this problem and improves routing throughput by
about 30% on MIPS, where unaligned access is expensive.
