For the packets received, ip_rcv, ipv6_rcv and bridge all call
pskb_trim_rcsum before feeding them to netfilter. The raw packets are
sent via dev_queue_xmit(), and they don't pass through the output path
of netfilter. One case, maybe the queued packets mangled "wrongly" in
userspace are reinjected, however, we can't prevent a user from
changing the payload_len wrongly.
