Eric Dumazet 99f0b958b1 net: optimize csum_replace2() ...

When changing one 16bit value by another in IP header, we can adjust
the IP checksum by doing a simple operation described in RFC 1624, as
reminded by David.

csum_partial() is a complex function on x86_64, not really suited for
small number of checksummed bytes.

I spotted csum_partial() being in the top 20 most consuming functions
(more than 1 %) in a GRO workload, which was rather unexpected.

The caller was inet_gro_complete() doing a csum_replace2() when
building the new IP header for the GRO packet.
