[UDP]: Clean up UDP-Lite receive checksum

Browse Source 
This patch eliminates some duplicate code for the verification of
receive checksums between UDP-Lite and UDP.  It does this by
introducing __skb_checksum_complete_head which is identical to
__skb_checksum_complete_head apart from the fact that it takes
a length parameter rather than computing the first skb->len bytes.

As a result UDP-Lite will be able to use hardware checksum offload
for packets which do not use partial coverage checksums.  It also
means that UDP-Lite loopback no longer does unnecessary checksum
verification.

If any NICs start support UDP-Lite this would also start working
automatically.

This patch removes the assumption that msg_flags has MSG_TRUNC clear
upon entry in recvmsg.
