You would need to store everything in an object, managed by rcu.

struct my_rcu_safe_struct {
     u32 flags;
     u8   eth_dst[ETH_ALEN];
     u8   eth_src[ETH_ALEN];
     __be16 eth_type;
};

And then allocate a new one when you need to update the infos (from
tcf_skbmod_init(())

RCU : Read Copy Update.

Then in the reader you would use 

rcu_read_lock();
myptr = rcu_dereference(d->ptr);
if (myptr) {
        if (myptr->flags & SKBMOD_F_DMAC)
                 ether_addr_copy(eth_hdr(skb)->h_dest, myptr->eth_dst);
         if (myptr->flags & SKBMOD_F_SMAC)
                 ether_addr_copy(eth_hdr(skb)->h_source, myptr->eth_src);
         if (myptr->flags & SKBMOD_F_ETYPE)
                 eth_hdr(skb)->h_proto = myptr->eth_type;
}
rcu_read_unlock();
