ip: fail fast on IP defrag errors

The current behavior of IP defragmentation is inconsistent:
- some overlapping/wrong length fragments are dropped without
  affecting the queue;
- most overlapping fragments cause the whole frag queue to be dropped.

This patch brings consistency: if a bad fragment is detected,
the whole frag queue is dropped. Two major benefits:
- fail fast: corrupted frag queues are cleared immediately, instead of
  by timeout;
- testing of overlapping fragments is now much easier: any kind of
  random fragment length mutation now leads to the frag queue being
  discarded (IP packet dropped); before this patch, some overlaps were
  "corrected", with tests not seeing expected packet drops.

Note that in one case (see "if (end&7)" conditional) the current
behavior is preserved as there are concerns that this could be
legitimate padding.
