net: ipv6: Clamp to IP6_MAX_MTU in ip6_dst_mtu_maybe_forward

Browse source

Commit 427faee167 ("net: ipv6: introduce ip6_dst_mtu_maybe_forward")
dropped the IP6_MAX_MTU clamp that used to be present in ip6_mtu(). A
similar IPv4 commit ac6627a28d ("net: ipv4: Consolidate ipv4_mtu and
ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward") preserves the IP_MAX_MTU clamp.

Restore the upper bound in the IPv6 flow to avoid potential 16-bit
overflows in forwarding paths.
