We have never checked the efx_nic::rx_checksum_enabled flag everywhere
we should, and since the switch to GRO we don't check it anywhere.
It's simplest to check it in the one place where we initialise the
per-packet checksummed flag.

I'm not sure whether this is serious enough to merit a stable update.
It's not a recent regression.

Ben.

This patch only applies to net-next-2.6, so I can't see how it could
be a -stable candidate :-)

So I've applied it there.

The register name update in net-next-2.6 changed the context for this
patch.  I'll send a new patch that will apply to the earlier versions.
