Not sure why it is negative ? This seems like the real problem...

csum_start is relative to skb->head, regardless of pull operations.

whatever set csum_start to a too small value should be tracked and fixed.

I do not understand this patch. You are working around the real bug, right ?

Otherwise we would not have a net_warn_ratelimited() ?

csum_start should actually be at the transport header, so not
considering network header
 length seems to call for another bug report when syzbot gets smarter ?
