tunnels: fix out of bounds access when building IPv6 PMTU error

If the ICMPv6 error is built from a non-linear skb we get the following splat,

BUG: KASAN: slab-out-of-bounds in do_csum+0x220/0x240 Read of size 4 at addr ffff88811d402c80 by task netperf/820 CPU: 0 PID: 820 Comm: netperf Not tainted 6.8.0-rc1+ #543 ... kasan_report+0xd8/0x110 do_csum+0x220/0x240 csum_partial+0xc/0x20 skb_tunnel_check_pmtu+0xeb9/0x3280 vxlan_xmit_one+0x14c2/0x4080 vxlan_xmit+0xf61/0x5c00 dev_hard_start_xmit+0xfb/0x510 __dev_queue_xmit+0x7cd/0x32a0 br_dev_queue_push_xmit+0x39d/0x6a0

Use skb_checksum instead of csum_partial who cannot deal with non-linear SKBs.
