[ Upstream commit 9b368814b336b0a1a479135eb2815edbc00efd3c ]

We need to update the skb->csum after pulling the skb, otherwise
an unnecessary checksum (re)computation can ocure for IGMP/MLD packets
in the bridge code. Additionally this fixes the following splats for
network devices / bridge ports with support for and enabled RX checksum
offloading:
