The MTU check for tunnel mode can also use this helper as
ntohs(old_iph->payload_len) + sizeof(struct ipv6hdr) is qual to
skb->len.  And the 'mtu' variable have been adjusted before
calling helper.

Notice, this also fixes a bug, as the the MTU check in ip_vs_dr_xmit_v6()
were missing a check for skb_is_gso().

This bug e.g. caused issues for KVM IPVS setups, where different
Segmentation Offloading techniques are utilized, between guests,
via the virtio driver.  This resulted in very bad performance,
due to the ICMPv6 "too big" messages didn't affect the sender.

Just a little nitpick.

The original title/subj was:
  "ipvs: IPv6 MTU checking cleanup and bugfix"

And the curr/used title/subj were part of the commit text.

Sorry, must have happened while importing the patch, I noticed it
afterwards, but was already too late.
