e1000e: remove use of IP payload checksum
Currently only used when packet split mode is enabled with jumbo frames, IP payload checksum (for fragmented UDP packets) is mutually exclusive with receive hashing offload since the hardware uses the same space in the receive descriptor for the hardware-provided packet checksum and the RSS hash, respectively. Users currently must disable jumbos when receive hashing offload is enabled, or vice versa, because of this incompatibility. Since testing has shown that IP payload checksum does not provide any real benefit, just remove it so that there is no longer a choice between jumbos or receive hashing offload but not both as done in other Intel GbE drivers (e.g. e1000, igb). Also, add a missing check for IP checksum error reported by the hardware; let the stack verify the checksum when this happens.
