ipv4: add IP_RECVFRAGSIZE cmsg

The IP stack records the largest fragment of a reassembled packet
in IPCB(skb)->frag_max_size. When reading a datagram or raw packet
that arrived fragmented, expose the value to allow applications to
estimate receive path MTU.

Tested:
  Sent data over a veth pair of which the source has a small mtu.
  Sent data using netcat, received using a dedicated process.

  Verified that the cmsg IP_RECVFRAGSIZE is returned only when
  data arrives fragmented, and in that cases matches the veth mtu.

    ip link add veth0 type veth peer name veth1

    ip netns add from
    ip netns add to

    ip link set dev veth1 netns to
    ip netns exec to ip addr add dev veth1 192.168.10.1/24
    ip netns exec to ip link set dev veth1 up

    ip link set dev veth0 netns from
    ip netns exec from ip addr add dev veth0 192.168.10.2/24
    ip netns exec from ip link set dev veth0 up
    ip netns exec from ip link set dev veth0 mtu 1300
    ip netns exec from ethtool -K veth0 ufo off

    dd if=/dev/zero bs=1 count=1400 2>/dev/null > payload

    ip netns exec to ./recv_cmsg_recvfragsize -4 -u -p 6000 &
    ip netns exec from nc -q 1 -u 192.168.10.1 6000 < payload
