bpf: fix checksum fixups on bpf_skb_store_bytes
bpf_skb_store_bytes() invocations above L2 header need BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM flag for updates, so that CHECKSUM_COMPLETE will be fixed up along the way. Where we ran into an issue with bpf_skb_store_bytes() is when we did a single-byte update on the IPv6 hoplimit despite using BPF_F_RECOMPUTE_CSUM flag; simple ping via ICMPv6 triggered a hw csum failure as a result. The underlying issue has been tracked down to a buffer alignment issue. Meaning, that csum_partial() computations via skb_postpull_rcsum() and skb_postpush_rcsum() pair invoked had a wrong result since they operated on an odd address for the hoplimit, while other computations were done on an even address. This mix doesn't work as-is with skb_postpull_rcsum(), skb_postpush_rcsum() pair as it always expects at least half-word alignment of input buffers, which is normally the case. Thus, instead of these helpers using csum_sub() and (implicitly) csum_add(), we need to use csum_block_sub(), csum_block_add(), respectively. For unaligned offsets, they rotate the sum to align it to a half-word boundary again, otherwise they work the same as csum_sub() and csum_add(). Adding __skb_postpull_rcsum(), __skb_postpush_rcsum() variants that take the offset as an input and adapting bpf_skb_store_bytes() to them fixes the hw csum failures again. The skb_postpull_rcsum(), skb_postpush_rcsum() helpers use a 0 constant for offset so that the compiler optimizes the offset & 1 test away and generates the same code as with csum_sub()/_add().
