Subject: [PATCH net] packet: do not set TP_STATUS_CSUM_VALID on CHECKSUM_COMPLETE

From: Willem de Bruijn <willemb@...gle.com>

CHECKSUM_COMPLETE signals that skb->csum stores the sum over the
entire packet. It does not imply that an embedded l4 checksum
field has been validated.

Fixes: 682f048bd494 ("af_packet: pass checksum validation status to the user")
