This bug causes a misleading kernel warning skb_warn_bad_offload during checksum calculation.
This has been fixed mainling commit b2504a5dbef3305ef41988ad270b0e8ec289331c.
The commit is in mainline as of v4.11-rc1.

There have been reports of Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machines (with ip forward enabled) displaying these misleading warnings.

    net: reduce skb_warn_bad_offload() noise

== Regression Potential ==
This commit is just removing warnings, so risk of regression is low.

== Test Case ==
A test kernel was built with this patch and tested by the original bug reporter.
The bug reporter states the test kernel resolved the bug.
