Herbert Xu 663ead3bb8 [NET]: Use csum_start offset instead of skb_transport_header 
The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start
of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload.  Unfortunately,
the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.

This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.

This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums.  This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.

No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.

For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.
