[PATCH] net: move "IPv6: sending pkt_too_big to self" to NETDEBUG

[Philipp Kern]

ip6_xmit checks if the outgoing packet is larger than the path MTU and
emits ICMPv6 packet too big locally if this is the case. Logging this,
even at KERN_DEBUG, confuses users. It is also not actually helpful for
debugging, given that there is no reference to the connection that
triggered this event.

Hence move this message to LIMIT_NETDEBUG, as suggested by Andi Kleen
back in 2001 (<20010215231715.26269@xxxxxxxxxxxx>).
