CHECKSUM_PARTIAL skbs should never arrive in ip_fragment. If we get one
of those warn about them once and handle them gracefully by recalculating
the checksum.

Why the WARN_ON_ONCE? Is there a prior check somewhere that avoid this
condition?
While I am pretty sure we should not hit the condition in IPv6 anymore,
I think this could frighten people in IPv4 land. I will repost without
the WARN_ON_ONCE. Maybe it makes sense to use the IFF_DEBUG interface
flags again? :)

I will repost without those WARN_ON_ONCEs.

Bye,
