You don't need to do any conversion. skb_checksum_unnecessary checks
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL values. If the checksum offset being checked goes
past CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, then skb_checksum_unnecessary will fail and
checksum complete will be called to get CHECKSUM_COMPLETE. I'm not
sure why openvswitch is even calling skb_checksum_help in the first
place, the stack should be able to handle CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
