mctp: Implement message fragmentation & reassembly
This change implements MCTP fragmentation (based on route & device MTU),
and corresponding reassembly.
The MCTP specification only allows for fragmentation on the originating
message endpoint, and reassembly on the destination endpoint -
intermediate nodes do not need to reassemble/refragment. Consequently,
we only fragment in the local transmit path, and reassemble
locally-bound packets. Messages are required to be in-order, so we
simply cancel reassembly on out-of-order or missing packets.
In the fragmentation path, we just break up the message into MTU-sized
fragments; the skb structure is a simple copy for now, which we can later
improve with a shared data implementation.
For reassembly, we keep track of incoming message fragments using the
existing tag infrastructure, allocating a key on the (src,dest,tag)
tuple, and reassembles matching fragments into a skb->frag_list.
