ipv4: fix path MTU discovery with connection tracking
IPv4 conntrack defragments incoming packet at the PRE_ROUTING hook and (in case of forwarded packets) refragments them at POST_ROUTING independent of the IP_DF flag. Refragmentation uses the dst_mtu() of the local route without caring about the original fragment sizes, thereby breaking PMTUD. This patch fixes this by keeping track of the largest received fragment with IP_DF set and generates an ICMP fragmentation required error during refragmentation if that size exceeds the MTU.
