net: qualcomm: rmnet: Add support for RX checksum offload



When using the MAPv4 packet format, receive checksum offload can be
enabled in hardware. The checksum computation over pseudo header is
not offloaded but the rest of the checksum computation over
the payload is offloaded. This applies only for TCP / UDP packets
which are not fragmented.

rmnet validates the TCP/UDP checksum for the packet using the checksum
from the checksum trailer added to the packet by hardware. The
validation performed is as following -

1. Perform 1's complement over the checksum value from the trailer
2. Compute 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 header and
   subtracts it from the value from step 1
3. Computes 1's complement checksum over IPv4 / IPv6 pseudo header and
   adds it to the value from step 2
4. Subtracts the checksum value from the TCP / UDP header from the
   value from step 3.
5. Compares the value from step 4 to the checksum value from the
   TCP / UDP header.
6. If the comparison in step 5 succeeds, CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY is set
   and the packet is passed on to network stack. If there is a
   failure, then the packet is passed on as such without modifying
   the ip_summed field.

The checksum field is also checked for UDP checksum 0 as per RFC 768
and for unexpected TCP checksum of 0.

If checksum offload is disabled when using MAPv4 packet format in
receive path, the packet is queued as is to network stack without
the validations above.
