net: mangle zero checksum in skb_checksum_help()
[ Upstream commit 4f2e4ad5 ] Sending zero checksum is ok for TCP, but not for UDP. UDPv6 receiver should by default drop a frame with a 0 checksum, and UDPv4 would not verify the checksum and might accept a corrupted packet. Simply replace such checksum by 0xffff, regardless of transport. This error was caught on SIT tunnels, but seems generic.
