Subject: [PATCH V2 net-next 2/6] sctp: Handle sctp packets with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL

With SCTP checksum offload available in virtio, it is now
possible for virtio to receive a sctp packet with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set (guest-to-guest traffic).  SCTP doesn't really have a
partial checksum like TCP does, because CRC32c can't do partial
additive checksumming.  It's all or nothing.  So an SCTP packet
with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL will have checksum set to 0.  Let SCTP
treat this as a valid checksum if CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set.
