This reverts commit 12a2856b604476c27d85a5f9a57ae1661fc46019.
The commit above doesn't appear to be necessary any more as the
checksums appear to be correctly computed/validated.
Additionally the above commit breaks kvm configurations where
one VM is using a device that support checksum offload (virtio) and
the other VM does not.
In this case, packets leaving virtio device will have CHECKSUM_PARTIAL
set. The packets is forwarded to a macvtap that has offload features
turned off. Since we use CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY, the host does does not
update the checksum and thus a bad checksum is passed up to
the guest.

When the lower device has offloading capabilities, the packets checksums
are not computed. That leads to have any macvlan port in bridge mode to
not work because the packets are dropped due to a bad checksum.
If the macvlan is in bridge mode, the packet is forwarded to another
macvlan port and reach the network stack where it looks for a checksum
but this one was not computed due to the offloading of the lower device.
In this case, we have to set the packet with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY
when it is forwarded to a bridged port and restore the previous value of
ip_summed when the packet goes to the lowerdev.
