ibmveth: fix bad UDP checksums
This patch fixes a ibmveth bug where bad UDP checksums are being transmitted when checksum offloading is enabled. The hypervisor does checksum offloading only on TCP packets, so ibmveth calls skb_checksum_help() for any other protocol. The bug happens because the packet is being modified after the DMA map, so we would need a memory barrier before making the hypervisor call. Reordering the code so that the DMA map happens after skb_checksum_help() has the additional advantage of fixing a DMA map leak if skb_checksum_help() where to fail.
