[PATCH net] net: netpoll: Initialize UDP checksum field before checksumming

[Breno Leitao]

commit f1fce08e63fe ("netpoll: Eliminate redundant assignment") removed
the initialization of the UDP checksum, which was wrong and broke
netpoll IPv6 transmission due to bad checksumming.

udph->check needs to be set before calling csum_ipv6_magic().
