From: Oliver Hartkopp <socketcan@hartkopp.net>

As CAN skbs don't use IP checksums the skb->csum_start variable was used to
store the can-gw CAN frame time-to-live counter together with
skb->ip_summed set to CHECKSUM_UNNECESSARY.

Remove the 'hack' using the skb->csum_start variable and move the content
to can_skb_ext::can_gw_hops of the CAN skb extensions.

The module parameter 'max_hops' has been reduced to a single byte to fit
can_skb_ext::can_gw_hops as the maximum value to be stored is 6.
