[PATCH v2 2/3] net/tap: fix IPv4 checksum offloading

Checking that one of RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IPV4 or RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IP_CKSUM is
present is not compliant with the offloading API which specifies that IP
checksum requires RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IP_CKSUM.
On the other hand, RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IP_CKSUM is invalid for IPv6 packets,
so we can simply check for RTE_MBUF_F_TX_IP_CKSUM and assume this is an
IPv4 packet.
