usbnet: smsc95xx: check for csum being in last four bytes
The manual states that the checksum cannot lie in the last DWORD of the transmission, so add a basic check for this and fall back to software checksumming the packet. This only seems to trigger for ACK packets with no options or data to return to the other end, and the use of the tx-alignment option makes it more likely to happen.
