tcp: Set CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in tcp_init_nondata_skb
Back in commit 04a0551c87363f100b04d28d7a15a632b70e18e7
("loopback: Drop obsolete ip_summed setting") we stopped
setting CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY in the loopback xmit.
This is because such a setting was a lie since it implies that the
checksum field of the packet is properly filled in.
Instead what happens normally is that CHECKSUM_PARTIAL is set and
skb->csum is calculated as needed.
But this was only happening for TCP data packets (via the
skb->ip_summed assignment done in tcp_sendmsg()). It doesn't
happen for non-data packets like ACKs etc.
Fix this by setting skb->ip_summed in the common non-data packet
constructor. It already is setting skb->csum to zero.
But this reminds us that we still have things like ip_output.c's
ip_dev_loopback_xmit() which sets skb->ip_summed to the value
CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which Herbert's patch teaches us is not
valid. So we'll have to address that at some point too.
