Subject: [PATCHv2] ipv6: Fix ip6_xmit to send fragments if ipfragok is true

SCTP used ip6_xmit() to send fragments after received ICMP packet too
big message. But while send packet used ip6_xmit, the skb->local_df is
not initialized. So when skb if enter ip6_fragment(), the following
code will discard the skb.

ip6_fragment(...)
{
    if (!skb->local_df) {
        ...
        return -EMSGSIZE;
    }
    ...
}

SCTP do the following step:
1. send packet ip6_xmit(skb, ipfragok=0)
2. received ICMP packet too big message
3. if PMTUD_ENABLE: ip6_xmit(skb, ipfragok=1)

This patch fixed the problem by set local_df if ipfragok is true.
