[PATCH 002 of 3] knfsd: Avoid checksum checks when collecting metadata for a UDP packet.

[NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>]

When recv_msg is called with a size of 0 and MSG_PEEK (and
sunrpc/svcsock.c does), it is clear that we only interested in
metadata (from/to addresses) and not the data, so don't do any
checksum checking at this point.  Leave that until the data is
requested.
