ibmveth: Set CHECKSUM_PARTIAL if NULL TCP CSUM.

Browse source 
TCP checksums on received packets may be set to NULL by the sender if CSO
is enabled. The hypervisor flags these packets as check-sum-ok and the
skb is then flagged CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. If these packets are then
forwarded the sender will not request CSO due to the CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
flag. The result is a TCP packet sent with a bad checksum. This change
sets up CHECKSUM_PARTIAL on these packets causing the sender to correctly
request CSUM offload.

* In an OVS environment, when a flow is not cached, specifically for a

* the user space for finding a flow. During this process, OVS computes
* checksum on the first packet when CHECKSUM_PARTIAL flag is set.
*
* Given that we zeroed out TCP checksum field in transmit path
* (refer ibmveth_start_xmit routine) as we set "no checksum bit",
* OVS computed checksum will be incorrect w/o TCP pseudo checksum
* in the packet. This leads to OVS dropping the packet and hence
* TCP retransmissions are seen.
*
* So, re-compute TCP pseudo header checksum.
