[PATCH] ipv6: Provide definitions for GNU libc 2.8 and later

[Thierry Reding]

From: Thierry Reding <treding@xxxxxxxxxx>

Starting with GNU libc 2.8 and later, the definitions of the in6_pktinfo
and ip6_mtuinfo structures is guarded by __USE_GNU. Make sure to provide
the structures in the linux/ipv6.h when building against GNU libc 2.8 or
later and __USE_GNU is undefined to avoid breaking build issues.

One example where such failure to build can be observed is dhcpcd 6.6.7.
