Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Add an error handler for icmp6

From: Steffen Klassert <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 17 Jan 2013 09:09:49 +0100

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.
