Subject: [PATCH net-2.6] sfc: Really allow RX checksum offload to be
	disabled

We have never checked the efx_nic::rx_checksum_enabled flag everywhere
we should, and since the switch to GRO we don't check it anywhere.
It's simplest to check it in the one place where we initialise the
per-packet checksummed flag.

I'm not sure whether this is serious enough to merit a stable update.
It's not a recent regression.

Ben.
