vxlan: Fix to enable UDP checksums on interface
Add definition to vxlan nla_policy for UDP checksum. This is necessary
to enable UDP checksums on VXLAN.
In some instances, enabling UDP checksums can improve performance on
receive for devices that return legacy checksum-unnecessary for UDP/IP.
Also, UDP checksum provides some protection against VNI corruption.
Testing:
Ran 200 instances of TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR on bnx2x.
TCP_STREAM
IPv4, without UDP checksums
14.41% TX CPU utilization
25.71% RX CPU utilization
9083.4 Mbps
IPv4, with UDP checksums
13.99% TX CPU utilization
13.40% RX CPU utilization
9095.65 Mbps
TCP_RR
IPv4, without UDP checksums
94.08% TX CPU utilization
156/248/462 90/95/99% latencies
1.12743e+06 tps
IPv4, with UDP checksums
94.43% TX CPU utilization
158/250/462 90/95/99% latencies
1.13345e+06 tps
