[Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>]

-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
------------------

From: Jarek Poplawski <jarkao2@o2.pl>

The patch "Replace CHECKSUM_HW by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL/CHECKSUM_COMPLETE"
changed to unconditional copying of ip_summed field from collapsed
skb. This patch reverts this change.

The majority of substantial work including heavy testing
and diagnosing by: Michael Tokarev <mjt@tls.msk.ru>
Possible reasons pointed by: Herbert Xu and Patrick McHardy.
