net: ipv6: Validate GSO SKB before finish IPv6 processing

[ Upstream commit b210de4f ]

There are cases where GSO segment's length exceeds the egress MTU:
 - Forwarding of a TCP GRO skb, when DF flag is not set.
 - Forwarding of an skb that arrived on a virtualisation interface
   (virtio-net/vhost/tap) with TSO/GSO size set by other network
   stack.
 - Local GSO skb transmitted on an NETIF_F_TSO tunnel stacked over an
   interface with a smaller MTU.
 - Arriving GRO skb (or GSO skb in a virtualised environment) that is
   bridged to a NETIF_F_TSO tunnel stacked over an interface with an
   insufficient MTU.

If so:
 - Consume the SKB and its segments.
 - Issue an ICMP packet with 'Packet Too Big' message containing the
   MTU, allowing the source host to reduce its Path MTU appropriately.

Note: These cases are handled in the same manner in IPv4 output finish.
This patch aligns the behavior of IPv6 and the one of IPv4.
