When an ethernet frame with ip payload is padded, the padding octets are
not covered by the hardware checksum.
Prior to the cited commit, skb checksum was forced to be CHECKSUM_NONE
when padding is detected. After it, the kernel will try to trim the
padding bytes and subtract their checksum from skb->csum.
In this patch we fixup skb->csum for any ip packet with tail padding of
any size, if any padding found.
FCS case is just one special case of this general purpose patch, hence,
it is removed.
Fixes: 88078d98d1bb ("net: pskb_trim_rcsum() and CHECKSUM_COMPLETE are friends"),

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
