With the introduction of IPV6_FL_F_REFLECT, there is no guarantee of
flow label unicity. This patch introduces a new sysctl to protect the old
behaviour, enable by default.

Changelog of V3:
 * rename ip6_flowlabel_consistency to flowlabel_consistency
 * use net_info_ratelimited()
 * checkpatch cleanups

<title>IPv6: add the option to use anycast addresses as source addresses in echo reply</title>

This change allows to follow a recommandation of RFC4942.

- Add "anycast_src_echo_reply" sysctl to control the use of anycast addresses
  as source addresses for ICMPv6 echo reply. This sysctl is false by default
  to preserve existing behavior.
- Add inline check ipv6_anycast_destination().
- Use them in icmpv6_echo_reply().

Reference:
RFC4942 - IPv6 Transition/Coexistence Security Considerations
   (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4942#section-2.1.6)

2.1.6. Anycast Traffic Identification and Security

   [...]
   To avoid exposing knowledge about the internal structure of the
   network, it is recommended that anycast servers now take advantage of
   the ability to return responses with the anycast address as the
   source address if possible.

Reduce the uses of this unnecessary typedef.

Done via perl script:

$ git grep --name-only -w ctl_table net | \
  xargs perl -p -i -e '\
	sub trim { my ($local) = @_; $local =~ s/(^\s+|\s+$)//g; return $local; } \
        s/\b(?&lt;!struct\s)ctl_table\b(\s*\*\s*|\s+\w+)/"struct ctl_table " . trim($1)/ge'

Reflow the modified lines that now exceed 80 columns.

sysctl no longer requires explicit creation of directories.  The neigh
directory is always populated with at least a default entry so this

This makes it clearer which sysctls are relative to your current network
namespace.

This makes it a little less error prone by not exposing sysctls for the
initial network namespace in other namespaces.

This is the same way we handle all of our other network interfaces to
userspace and I can't honestly remember why we didn't do this for
sysctls right from the start.

register_sysctl_rotable never caught on as an interesting way to
register sysctls.  My take on the situation is that what we want are
sysctls that we can only see in the initial network namespace.  What we
have implemented with register_sysctl_rotable are sysctls that we can
see in all of the network namespaces and can only change in the initial
network namespace.

That is a very silly way to go.  Just register the network sysctls
in the initial network namespace and we don't have any weird special
cases to deal with.

The sysctls affected are:
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_secret_interval
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ipfrag_max_dist
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/ip6frag_secret_interval
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/mld_max_msf

I really don't expect anyone will miss them if they can't read them in a
child user namespace.

These files are non modular, but need to export symbols using
the macros now living in export.h -- call out the include so
that things won't break when we remove the implicit presence
