Subject: [PATCH]: Can not set the IPV6_PKTINFO option

[IPv6]: Can not set the IPV6_PKTINFO option

The Linux manpage of ipv6(7) mentions the IPV6_PKTINFO option (and it is defined in header
files), but there is no setsockopt support for it. Aliasing to IPV6_RECVPKTINFO fixes this,
and checking datagram_recv_ctl() in net/ipv6/datagram.c confirms that this works as 
expected from the API.
