Didn't see this come through until I had replied to the other patch.
Same comments apply here. The "csum" value probably doesn't need to be
checked when checking skb_checksum_start, and maybe this should
trigger a WARN_ON_ONCE since it should be rare and we should be fixing
any path that is requesting CHECKSUM_PARTIAL without setting
skb_checksum_start.
