Kernel: Stop including the ethernet header in LoopbackAdapter's mtu

Browse source 
The networking subsystem currently assumes all adapters are Ethernet
adapters, including the LoopbackAdapter, so all packets are pre-pended
with an Ethernet Frame header. Since the MTU must not include any
overhead added by the data-link (Ethernet in this case) or physical
layers, we need to subtract it from the MTU.

This fixes a kernel panic which occurs when sending a packet that is at
least 65523 bytes long through the loopback adapter, which results in
the kernel "receiving" a packet which is larger than the support MTU
out the other end. (As the actual final size was increased by the
addition of the ethernet frame header)
