This patch updates csum_ipv6_magic so that it correctly recognizes that
protocol is a unsigned 8 bit value.

This will allow us to better understand what limitations may or may not be
present in how we handle the data.  For example there are a number of
places that call htonl on the protocol value.  This is likely not necessary
and can be replaced with a multiplication by ntohl(1) which will be
converted to a shift by the compiler.

If the dst device doesn't support it, it'll get fixed up later anyway
 by validate_xmit_skb().  Also, this allows us to take advantage of LCO
 to avoid summing the payload multiple times.

The arithmetic properties of the ones-complement checksum mean that a
 correctly checksummed inner packet, including its checksum, has a ones
 complement sum depending only on whatever value was used to initialise
 the checksum field before checksumming (in the case of TCP and UDP,
 this is the ones complement sum of the pseudo header, complemented).
Consequently, if we are going to offload the inner checksum with
 CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, we can compute the outer checksum based only on the
 packed data not covered by the inner checksum, and the initial value of
 the inner checksum field.

Added udp_set_csum and udp6_set_csum functions to set UDP checksums
in packets. These are for simple UDP packets such as those that might
be created in UDP tunnels.

RFC 6936 relaxes the requirement of RFC 2460 that UDP/IPv6 packets which
are received with a zero UDP checksum value must be dropped. RFC 6936
allows zero checksums to support tunnels over UDP.

When sk_no_check is set we allow on a socket we allow a zero IPv6
UDP checksum. This is for both sending zero checksum and accepting
a zero checksum on receive.

These info messages are rather pointless without any means to identify
the source of the bogus packets.  Logging the src and dst addresses and
ports may help a bit.

As suggested by David, udp6_csum_init() is too big to be inlined,
move it to ipv6 static library, net/ipv6/ip6_checksum.c.

And the generic csum_ipv6_magic() too.
