[PATCH] net: ipv4: Remove MTU check in IP_HDRINCL send flow

[Yonatan Goldschmidt <dev.jongy@gmail.com>]

IP fragmentation can be performed as expected down the stack, without touching
irrelevant fields in the included header besides fragment offset, setting
IP_MF and header checksum.
If the included header has IP_DF set, EMSGSIZE is returned.

This allows users of IP_HDRINCL to have the kernel perform fragmentation.
