Subject: net: add skb_checksum_complete_unset

From: Tom Herbert <tom@herbertland.com>

[ Upstream commit 4e18b9adf2f910ec4d30b811a74a5b626e6c6125 ]

This function changes ip_summed to CHECKSUM_NONE if CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
is set. This is called to discard checksum-complete when packet
is being modified and checksum is not pulled for headers in a layer.
