  IPv6 checksum tests with unaligned addresses resulted in unexpected
failures.

Expected expected == csum_result, but
    expected == 46591 (0xb5ff)
    csum_result == 46381 (0xb52d)
with alignment offset 1

Oddly enough, the problem disappeared after adding test code into
the beginning of csum_ipv6_magic().

As it turns out, the 'sum' parameter of csum_ipv6_magic() is declared as
__wsum, which is a 32-bit variable type. However, it is treated as 64-bit
variable in the assembler code. Tests showed that the upper 32 bit of
the register used to pass the variable are _not_ cleared when entering
the function. This can result in checksum calculation errors.

Clearing the upper 32 bit of 'sum' as first operation in the assembler
code fixes the problem.

Maybe there is a way to do this without additional instruction, but if so
I have not been able to find it.
