mainlining shenanigans

The udp_error function verifies the checksum of incoming UDP packets if one is set. This has the desirable side effect of setting skb->ip_summed to CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, signalling that this verification need not be repeated further up the stack. Conversely, when the UDP checksum is empty, which is perfectly legal (at least inside IPv4), udp_error previously left no trace that the checksum had been deemed acceptable. This was a problem in particular for nf_reject_ipv4, which verifies the checksum in nf_send_unreach() before sending ICMP_DEST_UNREACH. It makes no accommodation for zero UDP checksums unless they are already marked as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY. This commit ensures packets with empty UDP checksum are marked as CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, which is explicitly recommended in skbuff.h.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
