[DCCP]: Fix bug in the calculation of very low sending rates
This fixes an error in the calculation of t_ipi when X converges towards
very low sending rates (between 1 and 64 bytes per second).
Although this case may not sound likely, it can be reproduced by connecting,
hitting enter (1 byte sent) and waiting for some time, during which the
nofeedback timer halves the sending rate until finally it reaches the region
1..64 bytes/sec. Computing X is handled correctly (tested separately); but by
dividing X _before_ entering the calculation of t_ipi, X becomes zero as
a result. This in turn triggers a BUG condition caught in scaled_div().
Fixed by replacing with equivalent statement and explicit typecast for good
measure.
Calculation verified and effect of patch tested - reduced never below 1 byte
per 64 seconds afterwards, i.e. not allowing divide-by-zero.

[NET]: Use csum_start offset instead of skb_transport_header
The skb transport pointer is currently used to specify the start
of the checksum region for transmit checksum offload. Unfortunately,
the same pointer is also used during receive side processing.
This creates a problem when we want to retransmit a received
packet with partial checksums since the skb transport pointer
would be overwritten.
This patch solves this problem by creating a new 16-bit csum_start
offset value to replace the skb transport header for the purpose
of checksums. This offset is calculated from skb->head so that
it does not have to change when skb->data changes.
No extra space is required since csum_offset itself fits within
a 16-bit word so we can use the other 16 bits for csum_start.
For backwards compatibility, just before we push a packet with
partial checksums off into the device driver, we set the skb
transport header to what it would have been under the old scheme.

(where it creates two extra bits in the skbuff to essentially mirror
ip_summed without being destroyed by the forwarding code).
I had forgotten that I've already gone through all the deivce drivers
last time around to make sure that they're looking at ip_summed ==
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL rather than ip_summed != 0 on transmit. In any case,
I've now done that again so it should definitely be safe.
Unfortunately nobody has yet added any code to update CHECKSUM_COMPLETE
values on forward so we I'm setting that to CHECKSUM_NONE. This should
be safe to remove for bridging but I'd like to check that code path
first.
