Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: Remove hoplimit initialization to -1

The changes introduced with git-commit a02e4b7d missed to remove the
hoplimit initialization. As a result, ipv6_get_mtu interprets the return
value of dst_metric_raw (-1) as 255 and answers ping6 with this hoplimit.
This patche removes the line such that ping6 is answered with the
hoplimit value configured via sysctl.
