ravb: RX checksum offload
Add support for RX checksum offload. This is enabled by default and
may be disabled and re-enabled using ethtool:
# ethtool -K eth0 rx off
# ethtool -K eth0 rx on
The RAVB provides a simple checksumming scheme which appears to be
completely compatible with CHECKSUM_COMPLETE: sum of all packet data after
the L2 header is appended to packet data; this may be trivially read by the
driver and used to update the skb accordingly.
In terms of performance throughput is close to gigabit line-rate both with
and without RX checksum offload enabled. Perf output, however, appears to
indicate that significantly less time is spent in do_csum(). This is as
expected.
Test results with RX checksum offload enabled:

Above results collected on an R-Car Gen 3 Salvator-X/r8a7796 ES1.0.
Also tested on a R-Car Gen 3 Salvator-X/r8a7795 ES1.0.
By inspection this also appears to be compatible with the ravb found
on R-Car Gen 2 SoCs, however, this patch is currently untested on such
hardware.
