Subject: [PATCH] Constrain UFO fragment sizes to multiples of 8 bytes

Because the ip fragment offset field counts 8-byte chunks, ip
fragments other than the last must contain a multiple of 8 bytes of
payload.  ip_ufo_append_data wasn't respecting this constraint and,
depending on the MTU and ip option sizes, could create malformed
non-final fragments.

Note to reviewers: The first two hunks simply rename the "mtu"
parameter to "maxfraglen"; the real change is in the third hunk.
maxfraglen (the size of the largest non-final fragment which fits
inside mtu) is already computed for the non-UFO fragmentation path.

We saw this problem in a 2.6.34-based kernel with a bond device that
had UFO enabled (as a result of changeset d9f5950f90292f7c);
1742f183fc218798 rewrote netdev_increment_features to no longer force
on UFO.  The MTU on this bond device was set to 1470; fragmented
datagrams were mangled, causing the receiver to get errors of the
form:

[506259.362640] UDP: short packet: From x.x.x.x:nnnn 1471/1469 to y.y.y.y:nnnn
