Adding casts of objects to the same type is unnecessary
and confusing for a human reader.

For example, this cast:

	int y;
	int *p = (int *)&amp;y;

I used the coccinelle script below to find and remove these
unnecessary casts.  I manually removed the conversions this
script produces of casts with __force and __user.

@@
type T;
T *p;
@@

-	(T *)p
+	p

<title>ipv6/exthdrs: strict Pad1 and PadN check</title>

The following tightens the padding check from commit
c1412fce7eccae62b4de22494f6ab3ff8a90c0c6 :

* Take into account combinations of consecutive Pad1 and PadN.

* Catch the corner case of when only padding is present in the
  header, when the extention header length is 0 (i.e., 8 bytes).
  In this case, the header would have exactly 6 bytes of padding:

+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
:  Next Header  : Hdr Ext Len=0 :                               :
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+                               +
:                        Padding (Pad1 or PadN)                 :
+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+

The padding destination or hop-by-hop option is called Pad1 and not Pad0.

For implementing other protocols on top of IPv6, such as L2TPv3's IP
encapsulation over ipv6, we'd like to call some IPv6 functions which
are not currently exported. This patch exports them.

<title>net/ipv6/exthdrs.c: Strict PadN option checking</title>

<id>c1412fce7eccae62b4de22494f6ab3ff8a90c0c6</id>
<content type='text'>
Added strict checking of PadN, as PadN can be used to increase header
size and thus push the protocol header into the 2nd fragment.

PadN is used to align the options within the Hop-by-Hop or
Destination Options header to 64-bit boundaries. The maximum valid
size is thus 7 bytes.
RFC 4942 recommends to actively check the "payload" itself and
ensure that it contains only zeroes.

See also RFC 4942 section 2.1.9.5.
