[IPV4/IPV6]: Fix suboptimal fragment sizing for last fragment
Yoshifuji's recent fragment patch prevents unnecessary fragmentation
when the data can be kept in a single packet, but only for the first
packet. When fragmenting, all fragments are still truncated to
multiples of 8 and we might end up creating an unnecessary fragment.
This dump shows the problem (MTU 1499):
172.16.1.123.32771 > 172.16.195.3.4135: udp 2937 (frag 7066:1472@0+)
172.16.1.123 > 172.16.195.3: udp (frag 7066:1472@1472+)
172.16.1.123 > 172.16.195.3: udp (frag 7066:1@2944)
This patch always builds mtu sized fragments and truncates the previous
fragment to a multiple of 8 bytes when allocating a new one. With the
patch the dump looks like this:
172.16.1.123.32772 > 172.16.195.3.4135: udp 2937 (frag 49641:1472@0+)
172.16.1.123 > 172.16.195.3: udp (frag 49641:1473@1472)
