net: gro: parse ipv6 ext headers without frag0 invalidation

The existing code always pulls the IPv6 header and sets the transport
offset initially. Then optionally again pulls any extension headers in
ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs and sets the transport offset again on return from
that call. skb->data is set at the start of the first extension header
before calling ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs, and must disable the frag0
optimization because that function uses pskb_may_pull/pskb_pull instead of
skb_gro_ helpers. It sets the GRO offset to the TCP header with
skb_gro_pull and sets the transport header. Then returns skb->data to its
position before this block.

This commit introduces a new helper function - ipv6_gro_pull_exthdrs -
which is used in ipv6_gro_receive to pull ipv6 ext headers instead of
ipv6_gso_pull_exthdrs. Thus, there is no modification of skb->data, all
operations use skb_gro_* helpers, and the frag0 fast path can be taken for
IPv6 packets with ext headers.
