ipvs: Fix faulty IPv6 extension header handling in IPVS

IPv6 packets can contain extension headers, thus its wrong to assume
that the transport/upper-layer header, starts right after (struct
ipv6hdr) the IPv6 header.  IPVS uses this false assumption, and will
write SNAT & DNAT modifications at a fixed pos which will corrupt the
message.

To fix this, proper header position must be found before modifying
packets.  Introducing ip_vs_fill_iph_skb(), which uses ipv6_find_hdr()
to skip the exthdrs. It finds (1) the transport header offset, (2) the
protocol, and (3) detects if the packet is a fragment.

Note, that fragments in IPv6 is represented via an exthdr.  Thus, this
is detected while skipping through the exthdrs.

This patch depends on commit 84018f55

:
 "netfilter: ip6_tables: add flags parameter to ipv6_find_hdr()"
This also adds a dependency to ip6_tables.

Originally based on patch from: Hans Schillstrom

kABI notes:
Changing struct ip_vs_iphdr is a potential minor kABI breaker,
because external modules can be compiled with another version of
this struct.  This should not matter, as they would most-likely
be using a compiled-in version of ip_vs_fill_iphdr().  When
recompiled, they will notice ip_vs_fill_iphdr() no longer exists,
and they have to used ip_vs_fill_iph_skb() instead.
