ipv6/gso: remove temporary HBH/jumbo header

Browse source

ipv6 tcp and gro stacks will soon be able to build big TCP packets,
with an added temporary Hop By Hop header.

If GSO is involved for these large packets, we need to remove
the temporary HBH header before segmentation happens.

v2: perform HBH removal from ipv6_gso_segment() instead of
    skb_segment() (Alexander feedback)
