[PATCH 2/6] vhost: fix missing enqueue pseudo-header calculation

[Maxime Coquelin]

The Virtio specification requires that in case of checksum
offloading, the pseudo-header checksum must be set in the
L4 header.

When received from another Vhost-user port, the packet
checksum might already contain the pseudo-header checksum
but we have no way to know it. So we have no other choice
than doing the pseudo-header checksum systematically.

This patch handles this using the rte_net_intel_cksum_prepare()
helper.
