[PATCH 1/1] Calculate inner checksums for all L4 protocols (was for TCP/UDP only).

- skb_checksum_setup can only handle TCP/UDP protocols under top level
IP header, packets with other protocols (like GRE) are sent out by
Wireguard with unfinished partial checksums which causes problems on
receiving side (bad checksums).

- skb_encrypt gets skb prepared by network stack, so there is no need to
setup the checksum from scratch, but just perform hw checksum offload
using software helper skb_checksum_help for packet which explicitly
require it as denoted by CHECKSUM_PARTIAL.
