[116/126] ipv6/tcp: Stop processing ICMPv6 redirect messages

[Steven Rostedt]

3.6.11.3 stable review patch.
If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Christoph Paasch <christoph.paasch@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit 50a75a8914539c5dcd441c5f54d237a666a426fd ]

Tetja Rediske found that if the host receives an ICMPv6 redirect message
after sending a SYN+ACK, the connection will be reset.

He bisected it down to 093d04d (ipv6: Change skb->data before using
icmpv6_notify() to propagate redirect), but the origin of the bug comes
from ec18d9a26 (ipv6: Add redirect support to all protocol icmp error
handlers.). The bug simply did not trigger prior to 093d04d, because
skb->data did not point to the inner IP header and thus icmpv6_notify
did not call the correct err_handler.

This patch adds the missing "goto out;" in tcp_v6_err. After receiving
an ICMPv6 Redirect, we should not continue processing the ICMP in
tcp_v6_err, as this may trigger the removal of request-socks or setting
sk_err(_soft).
