net: dsa: tag_ksz: dont let the hardware process the layer 4 checksum

Created by: linosanfilippo-kunbus

If the checksum calculation is offloaded to the network device (e.g due to NETIF_F_HW_CSUM inherited from the DSA master device), the calculated layer 4 checksum is incorrect. This is since the DSA tag which is placed after the layer 4 data is considered as being part of the daa and thus errorneously included into the checksum calculation. To avoid this, always calculate the layer 4 checksum in software.

TODO: check if upstream solution is available and use that instead of this patch
