[PATCH] Fix UDP checksum issue in net poll mode.

["Aubrey Li" <aubreylee@gmail.com>]

In net poll mode, the current checksum function doesn't consider the
kind of packet which is padded to reach a specific minimum length. I
believe that's the problem causing my test case failed. The following
patch fixed this issue.
