No need to update skb->csum in function inet_proto_csum_replace16(),
even if skb->ip_summed == CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, because change in L4
header checksum field and change in IPV6 header cancels each other
for skb->csum calculation.

Changes in V2.
1.) Updating diff as per email discussion with Florian Westphal.
Since inet_proto_csum_replace16() does incorrect calculation
for skb->csum in all cases.
2.) Change in Commmit logs.
