Hmm, indeed, seems you're right. Since the csum_partial() only covers
this particular fragment with feeding initial csum as 0, the result
from the do_csum() stays as is for the first part, and the csum_add()
does effectively the same as if we've fed skb->csum already into
csum_partial().

There are btw couple of other places where this generic helper could be
used as well.
