  The IPv6 can have large extension header, like the "Segment Routing" may
have (32 + 1) * 8 = 264 bytes, the 8 bits size of L3 length can't handle
this case correctly.

Please reorder these to avoid creating a structure hole.

Done in v2, I use the bit field like rte_mbuf, and keep the member's original order.
