This previous patch works for me. I also cooked following fix, to not
enter slow path on some lengthes (MTU + N*(MTU-20))

[PATCH] ip : take care of last fragment in ip_append_data

While investigating a bit, I found ip_fragment() slow path was taken
because ip_append_data() provides following layout for a send(MTU +
N*(MTU - 20)) syscall :

- one skb with 1500 (mtu) bytes
- N fragments of 1480 (mtu-20) bytes (before adding IP header)
last fragment gets 17 bytes of trail data because of following bit:

	if (datalen == length + fraggap)
		alloclen += rt->dst.trailer_len;

Then esp4 adds 16 bytes of data (while trailer_len is 17... hmm...
another bug ?)

In ip_fragment(), we notice last fragment is too big (1496 + 20) > mtu,
so we take slow path, building another skb chain.

In order to avoid taking slow path, we should correct ip_append_data()
to make sure last fragment has real trail space, under mtu...
