There is an 82599 errata that UDP frames with a zero checksum are
incorrectly marked as checksum invalid by the hardware. This was
leading to misleading PKT_RX_L4_CKSUM_BAD flag.
To fix it for the NEON path in Arm platform, change the bad UDP checksum to
unknown, and then let software application to recompute the checksum.
