VXLAN device can receive skb with checksum partial. But the checksum
offset could be in outer header which is pulled on receive.
Such a scenerio is a bug.

Anything that pulls off a header should use a utility function such
as skb_pull_rcsum() or skb_postpull_rcsum() to make sure this gets
fixed up properly.
