net: ipv6: Discard next-hop MTU less than minimum link MTU

Browse source 
When a ICMPV6_PKT_TOOBIG report a next-hop MTU that is less than the IPv6
minimum link MTU, the estimated path MTU is reduced to the minimum link
MTU. This behaviour breaks TAHI IPv6 Core Conformance Test v6LC4.1.6:
Packet Too Big Less than IPv6 MTU.

Referring to RFC 8201 section 4: "If a node receives a Packet Too Big
message reporting a next-hop MTU that is less than the IPv6 minimum link
MTU, it must discard it. A node must not reduce its estimate of the Path
MTU below the IPv6 minimum link MTU on receipt of a Packet Too Big
message."

Drop the path MTU update if reported MTU is less than the minimum link MTU.
