net: Fix skb->csum update in inet_proto_csum_replace16().

skb->csum is updated incorrectly, when manipulation for
NF_NAT_MANIP_SRC\DST is done on IPV6 packet.

Fix:
There is no need to update skb->csum in inet_proto_csum_replace16(),
because update in two fields a.) IPv6 src/dst address and b.) L4 header
checksum cancels each other for skb->csum calculation. Whereas
inet_proto_csum_replace4 function needs to update skb->csum, because
update in 3 fields a.) IPv4 src/dst address, b.) IPv4 Header checksum
and c.) L4 header checksum results in same diff as L4 Header checksum
for skb->csum calculation.
