ipv6: Fix udp checksums with raw sockets
It was reported that trancerout6 would cause a kernel to crash when trying to compute checksums on raw UDP packets. The cause was the check in __ip6_append_data that would attempt to use partial checksums on the packet. However, raw sockets do not initialize partial checksum fields so partial checksums can't be used. Solve this the same way IPv4 does it. raw sockets pass transhdrlen value of 0 to ip_append_data which causes the checksum to be computed in software. Use the same check in ip6_append_data (check transhdrlen).
