Currently, IPv6 defragmentation code drops non-last fragments that
are smaller than 1280 bytes: see
commit 0ed4229b08 ("ipv6: defrag: drop non-last frags smaller than min mtu")
This behavior is not specified in IPv6 RFCs and appears to break
compatibility with some IPv6 implemenations, as reported here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/netdev/msg543846.html
This patch re-uses common IP defragmentation queueing and reassembly
code in IPv6, removing the 1280 byte restriction.

IPV6=m
DEFRAG_IPV6=m
CONNTRACK=y yields:
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.o: In function `nf_ct_netns_do_get':
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.c:802: undefined reference to `nf_defrag_ipv6_enable'
net/netfilter/nf_conntrack_proto.o:(.rodata+0x640): undefined reference to `nf_conntrack_l4proto_icmpv6'
Setting DEFRAG_IPV6=y causes undefined references to ip6_rhash_params
ip6_frag_init and ip6_expire_frag_queue so it would be needed to force
IPV6=y too.
This patch gets rid of the 'followup linker error' by removing
the dependency of ipv6.ko symbols from netfilter ipv6 defrag.
Shared code is placed into a header, then used from both.
