You use (!skb->local_df) to invalidate the use of skb->len, instead of 
(!IP6CB(skb)->frag_max_size), (which is okay, because you set local_df 
later).  Is there are reason this check is better?

Eric Dumazet would probably nitpick and say, it can be reduced to:
  (IP6CB(skb)->frag_max_size > mtu)
;-)

/me pointing to where local_df is being set.
