Is it correct to report checksum good when there is no checksum?

Hi all,

some drivers report RTE_MBUF_F_RX_IP_CKSUM_GOOD for IPv6 packets.
For me it looks strange, but I see some technical reasons behind.
Documentation in lib/mbuf/rte_mbuf_core.h is a bit vague.
Should UNKNOWN or NONE be used instead?

Thanks,
Andrew.
