ipv6: reject malicious packets in ipv6_gso_segment()

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2126463

[ Upstream commit d45cf1e7d7180256e17c9ce88e32e8061a7887fe ]

syzbot was able to craft a packet with very long IPv6 extension headers
leading to an overflow of skb->transport_header.

This 16bit field has a limited range.

Add skb_reset_transport_header_careful() helper and use it
from ipv6_gso_segment()
