Subject: [PATCHv2 RESEND] {xfrm, sctp} Stick to software crc32 even if hardware is capable of that

igb/ixgbe have hardware sctp checksum support, when this feature is enabled
and also IPsec is armed to protect sctp traffic, ugly things happened as
xfrm_output checks CHECKSUM_PARTIAL to do check sum operation(sum every thing
up and pack the 16bits result in the checksum field). The result is fail
establishment of sctp communication.
