ipv6: avoid write to a possibly cloned skb
ip6_fragment, in case skb has a fraglist, checks if the skb is cloned. If it is, it will move to the 'slow path' and allocates new skbs for each fragment. However, right before entering the slowpath loop, it updates the nexthdr value of the last ipv6 extension header to NEXTHDR_FRAGMENT, to account for the fragment header that will be inserted in the new ipv6-fragment skbs. In case original skb is cloned this munges nexthdr value of another skb. Avoid this by doing the nexthdr update for each of the new fragment skbs separately. This was observed with tcpdump on a bridge device where netfilter ipv6 reassembly is active: tcpdump shows malformed fragment headers as the l4 header (icmpv6, tcp, etc). is decoded as a fragment header.
