From: Tom Herbert <tom@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This patch has been added to the 3.18 stable tree. If you have any
objections, please let us know.

===============

[ Upstream commit 4e18b9adf2f910ec4d30b811a74a5b626e6c6125 ]

This function changes ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE if CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
is set. This is called to discard checksum-complete when packet
is being modified and checksum is not pulled for headers in a layer.
