[PATCH V2 net-next 1/1] hyperv: Properly handle checksum offload

[K. Y. Srinivasan]

Do checksum offload only if the client of the driver wants checksum to be
offloaded.

In V1 version of this patch, I  addressed comments from
Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org> and
Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com>.

In this version of the patch I have addressed comments from
David Miller.

This patch fixes a bug that is exposed in gateway scenarios.

It does not make any sense to submit a patch for net-next and
also ask for it to be included in -stable.

First of all, -stable submissions are handled by me directly for
networking.  Therefore you should not CC: stable on such patches,
instead you ask me politly to include it in my stable submission
queue.

Second of all, if a patch is destined for stable, it should be
submitted for 'net' not 'net-next'.
