netfilter: reject: don't send icmp error if csum is invalid
tcp resets are never emitted if the packet that triggers the reject/reset has an invalid checksum. For icmp error responses there was no such check. It allows to distinguish icmp response generated via iptables -I INPUT -p udp --dport 42 -j REJECT and those emitted by network stack (won't respond if csum is invalid, REJECT does). Arguably its possible to avoid this by using conntrack and only using REJECT with -m conntrack NEW/RELATED. However, this doesn't work when connection tracking is not in use or when using nf_conntrack_checksum=0. Furthermore, sending errors in response to invalid csums doesn't make much sense so just add similar test as in nf_send_reset. Validate csum if needed and only send the response if it is ok.
