Similar to commit 9b368814b336 ("net: fix bridge multicast packet checksum validation")
we need to fixup the checksum for CHECKSUM_COMPLETE when
pushing skb on RX path. Otherwise we get similar splats.

<title>sctp: Add GSO support</title>

SCTP has this pecualiarity that its packets cannot be just segmented to
(P)MTU. Its chunks must be contained in IP segments, padding respected.
So we can't just generate a big skb, set gso_size to the fragmentation
point and deliver it to IP layer.

This patch takes a different approach. SCTP will now build a skb as it
would be if it was received using GRO. That is, there will be a cover
skb with protocol headers and children ones containing the actual
segments, already segmented to a way that respects SCTP RFCs.

With that, we can tell skb_segment() to just split based on frag_list,
trusting its sizes are already in accordance.

This way SCTP can benefit from GSO and instead of passing several
packets through the stack, it can pass a single large packet.

v2:
- Added support for receiving GSO frames, as requested by Dave Miller.
- Clear skb-&gt;cb if packet is GSO (otherwise it's not used by SCTP)
- Added heuristics similar to what we have in TCP for not generating
  single GSO packets that fills cwnd.
v3:
- consider sctphdr size in skb_gso_transport_seglen()
- rebased due to 5c7cdf339af5 ("gso: Remove arbitrary checks for
  unsupported GSO")

skb_gso_network_seglen is not enough for checking fragment sizes if
skb is using GSO_BY_FRAGS as we have to check frag per frag.

This patch introduces skb_gso_validate_mtu, based on the former, which
will wrap the use case inside it as all calls to skb_gso_network_seglen
were to validate if it fits on a given TMU, and improve the check.

commit 6fa01ccd8830 ("skbuff: Add pskb_extract() helper function")
in pskb_carve_inside_header() and pskb_carve_inside_nonlinear().
Remove these instances, they are not used.

<title>gso: Only allow GSO_PARTIAL if we can checksum the inner protocol</title>

This patch addresses a possible issue that can occur if we get into any odd
corner cases where we support TSO for a given protocol but not the checksum
or scatter-gather offload.  There are few drivers floating around that
setup their tunnels this way and by enforcing the checksum piece we can
avoid mangling any frames.

<title>gso: Do not perform partial GSO if number of partial segments is 1 or less</title>

In the event that the number of partial segments is equal to 1 we don't
really need to perform partial segmentation offload.  As such we should
skip multiplying the MSS and instead just clear the partial_segs value
since it will not provide any gain to advertise the frame as being GSO when
it is a single frame.
