This is intentional behavior.  For CHECKSUM_COMPLETE packets we
subtract off the checksum of the encapsulating headers that we remove
so we can still get the benefit of checksum hardware for the inner
packet as well.  GRE does this using skb_postpull_rcsum(), for IPIP it
is implicit because the outer IP header was already removed, etc.
