Summary

We've observed a panic after pf_refragment6() with link-local addresses,
because pf_refragment6() calls ip6_forward() even for a simple output
case.
That results in us entering ip6_forward() with an mbuf with a NULL
m->m_pkthdr.rcvif, which can cause a NULL deref (but seemingly not for
GUAs.

Test sending fragmented link-local packets to pf.

While ping6 is still a thing, I would humbly advise to use ping -6 instead.
