Subject: ipv6: ip6_append_data_mtu do not handle the mtu of the second
 fragment properly

[ Upstream commit e367c2d03dba4c9bcafad24688fadb79dd95b218 ]

In ip6_append_data_mtu(), when the xfrm mode is not tunnel(such as
transport),the ipsec header need to be added in the first fragment, so the mtu
will decrease to reserve space for it, then the second fragment come, the mtu
should be turn back, as the commit 0c1833797a5a6ec23ea9261d979aa18078720b74
said.  however, in the commit a493e60ac4bbe2e977e7129d6d8cbb0dd236be, it use
*mtu = min(*mtu, ...) to change the mtu, which lead to the new mtu is alway
equal with the first fragment's. and cannot turn back.

when I test through  ping6 -c1 -s5000 $ip (mtu=1280):
...frag (0|1232) ESP(spi=0x00002000,seq=0xb), length 1232
...frag (1232|1216)
...frag (2448|1216)
...frag (3664|1216)
...frag (4880|164)

which should be:
...frag (0|1232) ESP(spi=0x00001000,seq=0x1), length 1232
...frag (1232|1232)
...frag (2464|1232)
...frag (3696|1232)
...frag (4928|116)

so delete the min() when change back the mtu.
