    netfilter: nf_conntrack_reasm: properly handle packets fragmented into a single fragment
    
    When an ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG message is received with a MTU below 1280,
    all further packets include a fragment header.
    
    Unlike regular defragmentation, conntrack also needs to "reassemble"
    those fragments in order to obtain a packet without the fragment
    header for connection tracking. Currently nf_conntrack_reasm checks
    whether a fragment has either IP6_MF set or an offset != 0, which
    makes it ignore those fragments.
    
    Remove the invalid check and make reassembly handle fragment queues
    containing only a single fragment.
