[ Upstream commit 501db511397fd6efff3aa5b4e8de415b55559550 ]
This patch part reverts fd2a0437dc33 and e858fae2b0b8 which introduced a subtle change in how the virtio_net flags are derived from the SKBs ip_summed field.
With the above commits, the flags are set to VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID when ip_summed == CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, thus treating it differently to ip_summed == CHECKSUM_NONE, which should be the same.
Further, the virtio spec 1.0 / CS04 explicitly says that VIRTIO_NET_HDR_F_DATA_VALID must not be set by the driver.
