Subject: ip6_output: fragment outgoing reassembled skb properly

commit 9037c3579a277f3a23ba476664629fda8c35f7c4 upstream.

If reassembled packet would fit into outdev MTU, it is not fragmented
according the original frag size and it is send as single big packet.

The second case is if skb is gso. In that case fragmentation does not happen
according to the original frag size.

This patch fixes these.
