Re: [PATCH net-next] net: silence sparse endianness warnings in checksums

In __skb_checksum_validate_complete and its callers, we only test that
the return value is non-zero, so it's safe to __force the type.

Callers of gso_make_checksum pass a __sum16, use that.

I don't like this, you're just moving the casts from one place to
another.

These functions are a mess, they are combining one thing (returning
the final csum value) with another thing (non-zero return has some
boolean meaning).

These issues should be explicitly accomodated rather than papered
around.
