[NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctly
Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults. If that happens,
it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
trace with the device name. In future it can turn off RX checksum.
I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
exceptions of:
* Those places where checksums are done bit by bit. These will call
netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.
* The following have not been completely checked/converted:
ipmr
ip_vs
netfilter
dccp
This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger
and David S. Miller.
