Pravin B Shelar f688246d7e skbuff: Fix skb checksum partial check. ...

[ Upstream commit 31b33dfb0a ]

Earlier patch 6ae459bda tried to detect void ckecksum partial
skb by comparing pull length to checksum offset. But it does
not work for all cases since checksum-offset depends on
updates to skb->data.

Following patch fixes it by validating checksum start offset
after skb-data pointer is updated. Negative value of checksum
offset start means there is no need to checksum.

Fixes: 6ae459bda ("skbuff: Fix skb checksum flag on skb pull")
