[ Upstream commit 2867e1eac61016f59b3d730e3f7aa488e186e917 ]

When adding support for propagating ECT(1) marking in IP headers it seems I
suffered from endianness-confusion in the checksum update calculation: In
fact the ECN field is in the *lower* bits of the first 16-bit word of the
IP header when calculating in network byte order. This means that the
addition performed to update the checksum field was wrong; let's fix that.

Fixes: b723748750ec ("tunnel: Propagate ECT(1) when decapsulating as recommended by RFC6040")
