Currently, when resegmenting an unexpected UDP GRO packet, the full UDP
checksum will be calculated for every new SKB created by skb_segment()
because the netdev features passed in by udp_rcv_segment() lack any
information about checksum offload capabilities.

Usually, we have no need to perform this calculation again, as
  1) The GRO implementation guarantees that any packets making it to the
     udp_rcv_segment() function had correct checksums, and, more
     importantly,
  2) Upon the successful return of udp_rcv_segment(), we immediately pull
     the UDP header off and either queue the segment to the socket or
     hand it off to a new protocol handler.

Unless userspace has set the IP_CHECKSUM sockopt to indicate that they
want the final checksum values, we can pass the needed netdev feature
flags to __skb_gso_segment() to avoid checksumming each segment in
skb_segment().
