net: Add driver helper functions to determine checksum offloadability
Add skb_csum_offload_chk driver helper function to determine if a device with limited checksum offload capabilities is able to offload the checksum for a given packet. This patch includes: - The skb_csum_offload_chk function. Returns true if checksum is offloadable, else false. Optionally, in the case that the checksum is not offloable, the function can call skb_checksum_help to resolve the checksum. skb_csum_offload_chk also returns whether the checksum refers to an encapsulated checksum. - Definition of skb_csum_offl_spec structure that caller uses to indicate rules about what it can offload (e.g. IPv4/v6, TCP/UDP only, whether encapsulated checksums can be offloaded, whether checksum with IPv6 extension headers can be offloaded). - Ancilary functions called skb_csum_offload_chk_help, skb_csum_off_chk_help_cmn, skb_csum_off_chk_help_cmn_v4_only.
