You want to ignore csum errors, but you do not want to elide the side
effects of the skb_checksum_simple_validate() call which are to set
skb->csum_valid and skb->csum.

Therefore, the skb_checksum_simple_validate() call still needs to be
performed. We just wont return -EINVAL in the NULL csum_err case.
