tcp: Avoid overlapping memcpy() in DUP_ACK handling

Browse source 
When handling the DUP_ACK flag, we copy all the buffers making up the ack
frame.  However, all our frames share the same buffer for the Ethernet
header (tcp4_eth_src or tcp6_eth_src), so copying the TCP_IOV_ETH will
result in a (perfectly) overlapping memcpy().  This seems to have been
harmless so far, but overlapping ranges to memcpy() is undefined behaviour,
so we really should avoid it.
