The asm code in csum_tcpudp_nofold() is performance-critical, I am sorry
for the poorly considered implementation about the performance influence
with GCC in the commit 198688edbf77 ("MIPS: Fix inline asm input/output
type mismatch in checksum.h used with Clang").

With this patch, we can build successfully by both GCC and Clang,
at the same time, we can avoid the potential performance influence
with GCC.

What happens if you make the above:
#ifdef __clang__
	unsigned long tmp = (__force unsigned long)sum;
#else
	__wsum tmp = sum;
#endif
	
and then leave the rest of the function the same for both compilers.
Maybe do s/sum/sum_in/,s/tmp/sum/ to reduce the changes.

Hi David,

Thank you very much.

As you suggested, the following changes looks much better,
I will test it and then send v2 later.
