[PATCH v2 16/19] hw/net/bcm2838_genet: fix bogus RX checksum reporting

bcm2838_genet_rdma() reported the received frame's IPv4 header
checksum (in host byte order) as the descriptor's rx_csum value.
The guest driver's CHECKSUM_COMPLETE path expects a running checksum
over the L4 payload there, not the L3 header checksum, so the
mismatch made the guest reject otherwise-valid inbound packets
("hw csum failure" in dmesg, from bcmgenet_rx_poll()), breaking
DHCP and general connectivity intermittently.

Report no hardware-computed checksum instead (rx_csum = 0), which
makes the guest fall back to verifying checksums in software; this
succeeds since the packet data itself was never corrupted. Drop the
eth_get_protocols() call and its output variables along with it,
since isip4/ip4hdr_info were only ever used to compute the checksum
value being removed here.

Confirmed with the guest booted repeatedly: "hw csum failure" no
longer appears in dmesg, and ping to the gateway succeeds with 0%
loss.
