Merge branch 'inet_csums_part3'



Tom Herbert says:

====================
net: Checksum offload changes - Part III

I am working on overhauling RX checksum offload. Goals of this effort
are:

- Specify what exactly it means when driver returns CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
- Preserve CHECKSUM_COMPLETE through encapsulation layers
- Don't do skb_checksum more than once per packet
- Unify GRO and non-GRO csum verification as much as possible
- Unify the checksum functions (checksum_init)
- Simply code

What is in this third patch set:

- Remove sk_no_check from sunrpc (doesn't seem to have any effect)
- Eliminate no_check from protosw. All protocols are using default of
  zero for this
- Split sk_no_check into sk_no_check_tx and sk_no_check_rx
- Make enabling of UDP6 more restrictive and explicit
- Support zero UDP6 checksums in l2tp

V2: Took out vxlan changes to set zero csums in IPv6, this will
    be in a later patch set.
V3: Fixed bug in restricting UDP6 checksums.

Please review carefully and test if possible, mucking with basic
checksum functions is always a little precarious :-)
