[Devel] [PATCH 3/3] selftests: forwarding: fix pedit tests failure with br_netfilter enabled

   Problem: Missed function

   In pedit_dsfield.sh, the function do_test_ip_dscp_ecn() creates its own tc filter directly without 
going through
   do_test_pedit_dsfield():

    tools/testing/selftests/net/forwarding/pedit_dsfield.sh lines 230-232

       tc filter add $locus handle 101 pref 1              \
          flower action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 124 retain 0xfc  \
             action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 1 retain 0x03

   This function also modifies the IP header (dsfield), but the checksum recalculation was not added 
here. This will
   still fail with br_netfilter enabled.

   Required fix

   The line should be:

       tc filter add $locus handle 101 pref 1              \
          flower action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 124 retain 0xfc  \
             action pedit ex munge ip dsfield set 1 retain 0x03    \
             pipe action csum ip
