Subject: CVE-2025-21890: idpf: fix checksums set in idpf_rx_rsc()

Description
===========

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

idpf: fix checksums set in idpf_rx_rsc()

idpf_rx_rsc() uses skb_transport_offset(skb) while the transport header
is not set yet.

This triggers the following warning for CONFIG_DEBUG_NET=y builds.

DEBUG_NET_WARN_ON_ONCE(!skb_transport_header_was_set(skb))

Mitigation
==========

The Linux kernel CVE team recommends that you update to the latest
stable kernel version for this, and many other bugfixes.  Individual
changes are never tested alone, but rather are part of a larger kernel
release.  Cherry-picking individual commits is not recommended or
supported by the Linux kernel community at all.  If however, updating to
the latest release is impossible, the individual changes to resolve this
issue can be found at these commits:
