Subject: openvswitch: maintain correct checksum state in conntrack actions

From: Lance Richardson <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 75f01a4c9cc291ff5cb28ca1216adb163b7a20ee ]

When executing conntrack actions on skbuffs with checksum mode CHECKSUM_COMPLETE, the checksum must be updated to account for header pushes and pulls. Otherwise we get "hw csum failure" logs similar to this (ICMP packet received on geneve tunnel via ixgbe NIC):
