UDP checksums in ICMP quotes

At the moment, freebsd checks a UDP checksum in place, overwriting
whatever is there. This has a side effect of the ICMP code sending back
the first eight bytes of the UDP payload with 2 bytes different to
what that system sent.
For example:
listening on lo0, link-type NULL (BSD loopback), capture size 1500 bytes
13:41:24.382239 IP localhost.40858 > localhost.33435: UDP, length 12
0x0000: 0200 0000 4500 0028 9f9b 0000 0111 1c28
0x0010: 7f00 0001 7f00 0001 9f9a 829b 0014 df8d
0x0020: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
13:41:24.382250 IP localhost > localhost: ICMP localhost udp port 33435 unreachable, length 36
0x0000: 0200 0000 4500 0038 00cc 0000 4001 7bf7
0x0010: 7f00 0001 7f00 0001 0303 dab2 0000 0000
0x0020: 4500 0028 9f9b 0000 0111 1c28 7f00 0001
0x0030: 7f00 0001 9f9a 829b 0014 0000
With the patch below, the checksum is not checked in place -- i.e.
13:54:47.371646 IP localhost.33826 > localhost.33435: UDP, length 12
0x0000: 0200 0000 4500 0028 8423 0000 0111 37a0
0x0010: 7f00 0001 7f00 0001 8422 829b 0014 fb05
0x0020: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000
13:54:47.371658 IP localhost > localhost: ICMP localhost udp port 33435 unreachable, length 36
0x0000: 0200 0000 4500 0038 001b 0000 4001 7ca8
0x0010: 7f00 0001 7f00 0001 0303 fb24 0000 0000
0x0020: 4500 0028 8423 0000 0111 37a0 7f00 0001
0x0030: 7f00 0001 8422 829b 0014 fb05
Patch is against -current, but applies just fine to FreeBSD 6.2 as well.
