If the checksum calculation is offloaded to the network device (e.g due to
NETIF_F_HW_CSUM inherited from the DSA master device), the calculated
layer 4 checksum is incorrect. This is since the DSA tag which is placed
after the layer 4 data is considered as being part of the daa and thus
errorneously included into the checksum calculation.
To avoid this, always calculate the layer 4 checksum in software.
