ipv6: Paritially checksum full MTU frames

vyasevich · davem330 · commit 2b89ed65a6f2 · 2017-01-30T15:51:12.000-05:00
IPv6 will mark data that is smaller that mtu - headersize as
CHECKSUM_PARTIAL, but if the data will completely fill the mtu,
the packet checksum will be computed in software instead.
Extend the conditional to include the data that fills the mtu
as well.
