Add a sysctl nf_ipv4_defrag_skip to skip defragmentation per
interface. This is set 0 to preserve existing behavior (always
defrag per interface).
This is useful for pure ipv4 forwarding scenarios (without NAT)
in conjunction with xfrm. It appears that network stack defrags
the packets and then forwards them to xfrm which then encrypts
and then later fragments them on a different boundary compared
to the source.
An example of this usage is for fixing wifi calling on networks
where certain routers are configured to drop fragments explicitly.
Wifi calling was failing because data from rmnet interfaces was
fragmented and got reassembled and then forwarded and encrypted
and transmitted over wifi. Upon encryption, these packets were
larger than wifi MTU and hence were fragmented and sent to network.
We avoid fragmentation with this change as the original packets
themselves do not need to be fragmented after encryption since
these packets were smaller in size than the wifi MTU.
