In case 1 csum_start should point to the (outer) UDP header, whereas in
 case 2 csum_start should point to the inner L4 header (because in the
 normal TX path w/o NAT, nothing else will ever need to touch the outer
 csum after this point).

So if netfilter sees a packet with CHECKSUM_PARTIAL whose csum_start
 doesn't point to the header nf NAT is editing, that's exactly the case
 where it needs to use lco_csum to calculate the new outer sum.  No?
