ipv6: fix EFAULT on sendto with icmpv6 and hdrincl
[ Upstream commit b9aa52c4 ] The following code returns EFAULT (Bad address): s = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_ICMPV6); setsockopt(s, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_HDRINCL, 1); sendto(ipv6_icmp6_packet, addr); /* returns -1, errno = EFAULT */ The IPv4 equivalent code works. A workaround is to use IPPROTO_RAW instead of IPPROTO_ICMPV6. The failure happens because 2 bytes are eaten from the msghdr by rawv6_probe_proto_opt() starting from commit 19e3c66b ("ipv6 equivalent of "ipv4: Avoid reading user iov twice after raw_probe_proto_opt""), but at that time it was not a problem because IPV6_HDRINCL was not yet introduced. Only eat these 2 bytes if hdrincl == 0.
