From: Roy.Li <rongqing.li@windriver.com>

Icmp packets with wrong checksum are never dropped since
skb->ip_summed is set to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

When icmp packets with wrong checksum pass through the octeon
net driver, the not_IP, IP_exc, L4_error hardware indicators
show no error. so the driver sets CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY on
skb->ip_summed.

L4_error only works for TCP/UDP, not for ICMP.
