In tcp_vu_data_from_sock() we compute IPv4 header checksum only for the first and the last packets, and re-use the first packet checksum for all the other packets as the content of the header doesn't change. It's more accurate to check the dlen value to know if the checksum should change as dlen is the only information that can change in the loop.
