netfilter: conntrack: mark UDP zero checksum as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
The udp_error function verifies the checksum of incoming UDP packets if one is set. This has the desirable side effect of setting skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, signalling that this verification need not be repeated further up the stack. Conversely, when the UDP checksum is empty, which is perfectly legal (at least inside IPv4), udp_error previously left no trace that the checksum had been deemed acceptable. This was a problem in particular for nf_reject_ipv4, which verifies the checksum in nf_send_unreach() before sending ICMP_DEST_UNREACH. It makes no accommodation for zero UDP checksums unless they are already marked as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This commit ensures packets with empty UDP checksum are marked as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which is explicitly recommended in skbuff.h.
