net: Clear old fragment checksum value in napi_reuse_skb



In certain cases, napi_get_frags() returns an skb that points to an old
received fragment, This skb may have its skb->ip_summed, csum, and other
fields set from previous fragment handling.

Some network drivers set skb->ip_summed to either CHECKSUM_COMPLETE or
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY when getting skb from napi_get_frags(), while
others only set skb->ip_summed when RX checksum offload is enabled on
the device, and do not set any value for skb->ip_summed when hardware
checksum offload is disabled, assuming that the skb->ip_summed
initiated to zero by napi_reuse_skb, ionic driver for example will
ignore/unset any value for the ip_summed filed if HW checksum offload is
disabled, and if we have a situation where the user disables the
checksum offload during a traffic that could lead to the following
errors shown in the kernel logs:

</IRQ>

This inconsistency sometimes leads to checksum validation issues in the
upper layers of the network stack.

To resolve this, this patch clears the skb->ip_summed value for each
reused skb in by napi_reuse_skb(), ensuring that the caller is responsible
for setting the correct checksum status. This eliminates potential
checksum validation issues caused by improper handling of
skb->ip_summed.
