IPv6: fix IPV6_RECVERR handling of locally-generated errors

Browse source 
I noticed when I added support for IPV6_DONTFRAG that if you set
IPV6_RECVERR and tried to send a UDP packet larger than 64K to an
IPv6 destination, you'd correctly get an EMSGSIZE, but reading from
MSG_ERRQUEUE returned the incorrect address in the cmsg:

struct msghdr:
	 msg_name         0x7fff8f3c96d0
	 msg_namelen      28
struct sockaddr_in6:
	 sin6_family      10
	 sin6_port        7639
	 sin6_flowinfo    0
	 sin6_addr        ::ffff:38.32.0.0
	 sin6_scope_id    0  ((null))

It should have returned this in my case:

struct msghdr:
	 msg_name         0x7fffd866b510
	 msg_namelen      28
struct sockaddr_in6:
	 sin6_family      10
	 sin6_port        7639
	 sin6_flowinfo    0
	 sin6_addr        2620:0:a09:e000:21f:29ff:fe57:f88b
	 sin6_scope_id    0  ((null))

The problem is that ipv6_recv_error() assumes that if the error
wasn't generated by ICMPv6, it's an IPv4 address sitting there,
and proceeds to create a v4-mapped address from it.

Change ipv6_icmp_error() and ipv6_local_error() to set skb->protocol
to htons(ETH_P_IPV6) so that ipv6_recv_error() knows the address
sitting right after the extended error is IPv6, else it will
incorrectly map the first octet into an IPv4-mapped IPv6 address
in the cmsg structure returned in a recvmsg() call to obtain
the error.
