[ Upstream commit 6f809da27c94425e07be4a64d5093e1df95188e9 ]

pmtu and redirect events are now handled in the protocols error handler,
so add an error handler for icmp6 to do this. It is needed in the case
when we have no socket context. Based on a patch by Duan Jiong.

Don't pretend that inet_protos[] and inet6_protos[] are hashes, thay
are just a straight arrays.  Remove all unnecessary hash masking.

Document MAX_INET_PROTOS.

Use RAW_HTABLE_SIZE when appropriate.

<title>ipv6: Handle PMTU in ICMP error handlers.</title>

One tricky issue on the ipv6 side vs. ipv4 is that the ICMP callouts
to handle the error pass the 32-bit info cookie in network byte order
whereas ipv4 passes it around in host byte order.

Like the ipv4 side, we have two helper functions.  One for when we
have a socket context and one for when we do not.

ip6ip6 tunnels are not handled here, because they handle PMTU events
by essentially relaying another ICMP packet-too-big message back to
the original sender.

This patch allows us to get rid of rt6_do_pmtu_disc().  It handles all
kinds of situations that simply cannot happen when we do the PMTU
update directly using a fully resolved route.

In fact, the "plen == 128" check in ip6_rt_update_pmtu() can very
likely be removed or changed into a BUG_ON() check.  We should never
have a prefixed ipv6 route when we get there.

Another piece of strange history here is that TCP and DCCP, unlike in
ipv4, never invoke the update_pmtu() method from their ICMP error
handlers.  This is incredibly astonishing since this is the context
where we have the most accurate context in which to make a PMTU
update, namely we have a fully connected socket and associated cached
socket route.

There's a lot of places that open-code rt{,6}_get_peer() only because
they want to set 'create' to one.  So add an rt{,6}_get_peer_create()
for their sake.

There were also a few spots open-coding plain rt{,6}_get_peer() and
those are transformed here as well.

Add "IPv6: " to appropriate files.

Convert printk(KERN_&lt;LEVEL&gt; to pr_&lt;level&gt; (but not KERN_DEBUG).
Standardize on "%s: " not "%s(): " when emitting __func__.
Use "%s: ", __func__ instead of embedding function name.
Coalesce formats, align arguments.

ADDRCONF output is now prefixed with "IPv6: "
