[NET]: Detect hardware rx checksum faults correctly

Browse Source 
Here is the patch that introduces the generic skb_checksum_complete
which also checks for hardware RX checksum faults.  If that happens,
it'll call netdev_rx_csum_fault which currently prints out a stack
trace with the device name.  In future it can turn off RX checksum.

I've converted every spot under net/ that does RX checksum checks to
use skb_checksum_complete or __skb_checksum_complete with the
exceptions of:

* Those places where checksums are done bit by bit.  These will call
netdev_rx_csum_fault directly.

* The following have not been completely checked/converted:

ipmr
ip_vs
netfilter
dccp

This patch is based on patches and suggestions from Stephen Hemminger
and David S. Miller.

*
* For protocols that contain complete checksums such as ICMP/TCP/UDP,

* checksum is correct. In particular, this function will return zero
* if skb->ip_summed is CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY which indicates that the
* hardware has already verified the correctness of the checksum.
