    There is zero point to this function.
    
    It's only real substance is to perform an extremely outdated BSD4.2
    ICMP check, which we can safely remove.  If you really have a MTU
    limited link being routed by a BSD4.2 derived system, here's a nickel
    go buy yourself a real router.
    
    The other actions of ip_rt_frag_needed(), checking and conditionally
    updating the peer, are done by the per-protocol handlers of the ICMP
    event.
    
    TCP, UDP, et al. have a handler which will receive this event and
    transmit it back into the associated route via dst_ops->update_pmtu().
    
    This simplification is important, because it eliminates the one place
    where we do not have a proper route context in which to make an
    inetpeer lookup.
