Revert "macvlan : fix checksums error when we are in bridge mode"

This reverts commit 12a2856b

.
The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the
checksums appear to be correctly computed/validated.

Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where
one VM is using a device that support checksum offload (virtio) and
the other VM does not.
In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set.  The packets is forwarded to a macvtap that has offload features
turned off.  Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not
update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to
the guest.
