Subject: [PATCHv5 net 0/2] IPv6: reply ICMP error if fragment doesn't contain all headers

When our Engineer run latest IPv6 Core Conformance test, test v6LC.1.3.6:
First Fragment Doesn’t Contain All Headers[1] failed. The test purpose is to
verify that the node(Linux for example) should properly process IPv6 packets
that don’t include all the headers through the Upper-Layer header.

Based on RFC 8200, Section 4.5 Fragment Header

  -  If the first fragment does not include all headers through an
     Upper-Layer header, then that fragment should be discarded and
     an ICMP Parameter Problem, Code 3, message should be sent to
     the source of the fragment, with the Pointer field set to zero.

The first patch add a definition for ICMPv6 Parameter Problem, code 3.
The second patch add a check for the 1st fragment packet to make sure
Upper-Layer header exist.
