As a nit - let's keep coding style consistent:
Pls move #define outside the function definition.

So if  IPPROTO_FRAGMENT was not found, we just use extension #8 instead?
Shouldn't we return an error in that case,  and probably drop the fragment?

Hmm..., as I remember ip_len is what we want to preserve in the packet...
Why we want to remove all previous ext headers here?

Can you explain why we setting these new fp fields after 'ip_frag_process()'?
Ip_frag_process() itself can call reassembly() - if all fragments are already in place.

If we want it for first fragment only, why not invoke ip_frag_get_last_exthdr()
only when ip_ofs == 0?
