When adding support for propagating ECT(1) marking in IP headers it seems I
suffered from endianness-confusion in the checksum update calculation: In
fact the ECN field is in the *lower* bits of the first 16-bit word of the
IP header when calculating in network byte order. This means that the
addition performed to update the checksum field was wrong; let's fix that.

Fixes: b723748750ec ("tunnel: Propagate ECT(1) when decapsulating as recommended by RFC6040")

Applied and queued, thanks!

This seems to be open coding csum16_add() - is there a reason and if
not perhaps worth following up in net-next?

Hmm, good point. I think I originally just copied this from
IP_ECN_set_ce(), which comes all the way back from the initial
Linux-2.6.12-rc2 commit in git. So I suppose it may just predate the
csum helpers? I'll wait for this patch to get propagated to net-next,
then follow up with a fix there :)
