With this applied we can strengthen the partial checksum check:
net: Ensure partial checksum offset is inside the skb head
In skb_partial_csum_set we check to see if the checksum offset
is within the packet. However, we really should check that it
is within the skb head as that's the only bit we can modify
without copying.
