And some nitpicks below...

The IPv6 conntrack fragmentation currently has a couple of shortcomings.
Fragmentes are collected in PREROUTING/OUTPUT, are defragmented, the
defragmented packet is then passed to conntrack, the resulting conntrack
information is attached to each original fragment and the fragments then
continue their way through the stack.

Helper invocation occurs in the POSTROUTING hook, at which point only
the original fragments are available. The result of this is that
fragmented packets are never passed to helpers.

This patch improves the situation in the following way:

- If a reassembled packet belongs to a connection that has a helper
 assigned, the reassembled packet is passed through the stack instead
 of the original fragments.

- During defragmentation, the largest received fragment size is stored.
 On output, the packet is refragmented if required. If the largest
 received fragment size exceeds the outgoing MTU, a "packet too big"
 message is generated, thus behaving as if the original fragments
 were passed through the stack from an outside point of view.

- The ipv6_helper() hook function can't receive fragments anymore for
 connections using a helper, so it is switched to use ipv6_skip_exthdr()
 instead of the netfilter specific nf_ct_ipv6_skip_exthdr() and the
 reassembled packets are passed to connection tracking helpers.

The result of this is that we can properly track fragmented packets, but
still generate ICMPv6 Packet too big messages if we would have before.

This patch is also required as a precondition for IPv6 NAT, where NAT
helpers might enlarge packets up to a point that they require
fragmentation. In that case we can't generate Packet too big messages
since the proper MTU can't be calculated in all cases (f.i. when
changing textual representation of a variable amount of addresses),
so the packet is transparently fragmented iff the original packet or
fragments would have fit the outgoing MTU.

You use (!skb->local_df) to invalidate the use of skb->len, instead of (!IP6CB(skb)->frag_max_size), (which is okay, because you set local_df later). Is there are reason this check is better?

Eric Dumazet would probably nitpick and say, it can be reduced to:
