netfilter: ipv6: fix crash caused by ipv6_find_hdr()
When calling: ipv6_find_hdr(skb, &thoff, -1, NULL) on a fragmented packet, thoff would be left with a random value causing callers to read random memory offsets with: skb_header_pointer(skb, thoff, ...) Now we force ipv6_find_hdr() to return a failure in this case. Calling: ipv6_find_hdr(skb, &thoff, -1, &fragoff) will set fragoff as expected, and not return a failure.
