[PATCH] net/cksum: compute raw cksum for several segments

The rte_raw_cksum_mbuf function is used to compute
the raw checksum of a packet.
If the packet payload stored in multi mbuf, the function
will goto the hard case. In hard case,
the variable 'tmp' is a type of uint32_t,
so rte_bswap16 will drop high 16 bit.
Meanwhile, the variable 'sum' is a type of uint32_t,
so 'sum += tmp' will drop the carry when overflow.
Both drop will make cksum incorrect.
This commit fixes the above bug.
