ipv6: Should use consistent conditional judgement for ip6 fragment between __ip6_append_data and ip6_finish_output

There is an inconsistent conditional judgement between __ip6_append_data
and ip6_finish_output functions, the variable length in __ip6_append_data
just include the length of application's payload and udp6 header, don't
include the length of ipv6 header, but in ip6_finish_output use
(skb->len > ip6_skb_dst_mtu(skb)) as judgement, and skb->len include the
length of ipv6 header.

That causes some particular application's udp6 payloads whose length are
between (MTU - IPv6 Header) and MTU were fragmented by ip6_fragment even
though the rst->dev support UFO feature.

Add the length of ipv6 header to length in __ip6_append_data to keep
consistent conditional judgement as ip6_finish_output for ip6 fragment.
