Add selftest for the IPv6 fragmentation regression which affected
several stable kernels.
Commit a18dfa9925 ("ipv6: save dontfrag in cork") was backported to
stable without some prerequisite commits. This caused a regression when
sending IPv6 UDP packets by preventing fragmentation and instead
returning -1 (EMSGSIZE).
Add selftest to check for this issue by attempting to send a packet
larger than the interface MTU. The packet will be fragmented on a
working kernel, with sendmsg(2) correctly returning the expected number
of bytes sent. When the regression is present, sendmsg returns -1 and
sets errno to EMSGSIZE.
