Subject: [PATCH AUTOSEL 6.18] netfilter: ip6t_eui64: reject invalid MAC header for all packets

[ Upstream commit fdce0b3590f724540795b874b4c8850c90e6b0a8 ]

`eui64_mt6()` derives a modified EUI-64 from the Ethernet source address
and compares it with the low 64 bits of the IPv6 source address.

The existing guard only rejects an invalid MAC header when
`par->fragoff != 0`. For packets with `par->fragoff == 0`, `eui64_mt6()`
can still reach `eth_hdr(skb)` even when the MAC header is not valid.

Fix this by removing the `par->fragoff != 0` condition so that packets
with an invalid MAC header are rejected before accessing `eth_hdr(skb)`.
