This implies the problem is happening in UDP path. AFAICT skb->csum is
correct, and I don't seem to be able to reproduce the issue on my setup.
It is possible that an skb copy is happening in which case we don't copy
csum_valid so that checksum_unnecessary would fail in this case.

Can you try with the patch below. Thanks!
