I'm still not so sure I agree, even after having taken a second look
at this.

Look at ipv4's logic for this same facility:

		if (skb->len > ip_skb_dst_mtu(skb) && !skb_is_gso(skb))
			return ip_fragment(skb, ip_finish_output2);

Strictly, we only call ip_fragment() if skb_is_gso() is false.  And then
in ip_fragment():

	if (unlikely(((iph->frag_off & htons(IP_DF)) && !skb->local_df) ||
		     (IPCB(skb)->frag_max_size &&
		      IPCB(skb)->frag_max_size > dst_mtu(&rt->dst)))) {

And that second branch of this test is what you're trying to duplicate
into ipv6.

Perhaps I don't understand completely the intentions and logic of
dst_allfrag() in the ipv6 case, and maybe you can explain it to me.
