net: more accurate checksumming in validate_xmit_skb() 

skb_csum_hwoffload_help() uses netdev features and skb->csum_not_inet to
determine if skb needs software computation of Internet Checksum or crc32c
(or nothing, if this computation can be done by the hardware). Use it in
place of skb_checksum_help() in validate_xmit_skb() to avoid corruption
of non-GSO SCTP packets having skb->ip_summed equal to CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.

While at it, remove references to skb_csum_off_chk* functions, since they
are not present anymore in Linux  _ see commit cf53b1da73 ("Revert
 "net: Add driver helper functions to determine checksum offloadability"").

@ -35,6 +35,9 @@ This interface only allows a single checksum to be offloaded. Where
encapsulation is used, the packet may have multiple checksum fields in
different header layers, and the rest will have to be handled by another
mechanism such as LCO or RCO.
CRC32c can also be offloaded using this interface, by means of filling
skb->csum_start and skb->csum_offset as described above, and setting
skb->csum_not_inet: see skbuff.h comment (section 'D') for more details.
No offloading of the IP header checksum is performed; it is always done in
software. This is OK because when we build the IP header, we obviously
have it in cache, so summing it isn't expensive. It's also rather short.
