--
When decoding some crafted IPv6 packets carrying more than one Fragment EH,
Wireshark will report a bad checksum on the payload - while in fact the
checksum is correct.

Attaching pcap showing the issue and script for scapy to recreate. Issue is
shown w/ ICMPv6 - all packets are exactly the same (with the addition of Frag
EHs), and Wireshark is reporting an error on packet #13 - "should be 0xa3b2"
