Subject: skbuff: Fix skb checksum flag on skb pull

From: Pravin B Shelar <pshelar@nicira.com>

[ Upstream commit 6ae459bdaaeebc632b16e54dcbabb490c6931d61 ]

VXLAN device can receive skb with checksum partial. But the checksum
offset could be in outer header which is pulled on receive. This results
in negative checksum offset for the skb. Such skb can cause the assert
failure in skb_checksum_help(). Following patch fixes the bug by setting
checksum-none while pulling outer header.

Following is the kernel panic msg from old kernel hitting the bug.
