[ Upstream commit 24b7ea9f6c9787fad885442ed0cc010f1aa69cca ]

I am not family with RealTek RTL-8139C+ series 10/100 PCI Ethernet driver.
I try to guess the meaning of RxProtoIP and IPFail.
RxProtoIP stands for received IPv4 packet that upper protocol is not tcp and 
udp.
!(status & IPFail) is true means that driver correctly to check checksum in 
IPv4 header.

If these are right, driver will set ip_summed with CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY for 
other
upper protocol, e.g. sctp, igmp protocol. This will cause protocol stack ignores
checksum check for packets with invalid checksum.

This patch is only compile-test.
