[IPX]: Annotate and fix IPX checksum

Calculation of IPX checksum got buggered about 2.4.0.  The old variant
mangled the packet; that got fixed, but calculation itself got buggered.
Restored the correct logics, fixed a subtle breakage we used to have even
back then: if the sum is 0 mod 0xffff, we want to return 0, not 0xffff.
The latter has special meaning for IPX (cheksum disabled).  Observation
(and obvious fix) nicked from history of FreeBSD ipx_cksum.c...
