Introduce bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_checksum() kfunc in order to load the HW
RX cheksum results in the eBPF program binded to the NIC.
Implement xmo_rx_checksum callback for veth and ice drivers.
If the hardware detects a wrong/failed checksum, it will report
CHECKSUM_NONE in the packet metadata. Moreover, CHECKSUM_NONE will be
returned even if the NIC can't parse the packet (e.g. if it does not
support a specific protocol). A possible use case for
bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_checksum() would be to implement a XDP DDoS
application [1] combining the info from bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_checksum()
and bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_hash() kfuncs in order to filter packets with a
wrong/failed checksum.

Changes in v1:
- Rebase on top of bpf-next
- Test ice driver using xdp_hw_metadata tool available in the bpf
kernel selftest
- Improve cover letter with an use-case for
bpf_xdp_metadata_rx_checksum()
- Link to RFC v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250925-bpf-xdp-meta-rxcksum-v2-0-6b3fe987ce91@kernel.org
Changes in RFC v2:
- Squash patch 1/6 and 2/6
- Introduce enum xdp_checksum definitions
- Rework ice support to reuse ice_rx_csum codebase
