Adding IPV6_FRAG_EXT to the list of expandable is not accurate,
Assuming HW support matching on L4 info after frag - which I think it doesn't.
It will lead that the first frag will get different hash than other frags since
it the only one which contain info of L4 header
This will lead to different RSS spreading and that's not correct.
Kindest regards,
