From: Alice Mikityanska <redacted>
Commit 427faee167bc ("net: ipv6: introduce ip6_dst_mtu_maybe_forward")
dropped the IP6_MAX_MTU clamp that used to be present in ip6_mtu(). A
similar IPv4 commit ac6627a28dbf ("net: ipv4: Consolidate ipv4_mtu and
ip_dst_mtu_maybe_forward") preserves the IP_MAX_MTU clamp.
Restore the upper bound in the IPv6 flow to avoid potential 16-bit
overflows in forwarding paths.
Fixes: 427faee167bc ("net: ipv6: introduce ip6_dst_mtu_maybe_forward")
