Subject: [PATCH 1/2] [IPV4] UDP: Always checksum even if without socket filter

Dave, 

The current kernel doesn't verify the udp checksum if user doesn't set a
socket filter.It's fine for LAN. But for WAN, it's not a good option.
Shall we fix it? Below is the patch to make udp checksum be always 
available.

[IPV4] UDP: Always checksum even if without socket filter
Make udp checksum be always available even if without socket filter.
