As shown by Dmitris, we need to use csum_block_add() instead of csum_add()
when adding the FCS contribution to skb csum.

Before 4.18 (more exactly commit 88078d98d1bb "net: pskb_trim_rcsum()
and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends"), the whole skb csum was thrown away,
so RXFCS changes were ignored.

Then before commit d55bef5059dd ("net: fix pskb_trim_rcsum_slow() with
odd trim offset") both mlx5 and pskb_trim_rcsum_slow() bugs were canceling
each other.

Now we fixed pskb_trim_rcsum_slow() we need to fix mlx5.

Note that this patch also rewrites mlx5e_get_fcs() to :

- Use skb_header_pointer() instead of reinventing it.
- Use __get_unaligned_cpu32() to avoid possible non aligned accesses
  as Dmitris pointed out.
