Ok, so the issue can only happen if we switch between using an
ipv4 and an ipv6 binding on an ipv6 socket.  Usually if the sockaddr
specified for udp6_sendmsg() is ipv4, we'd go straight to udp_sendmsg().
But if it's ipv4 bound initially, then we get a udp6_sendmsg() with
an ipv6 address, we hit this problem.

Applied and queued up for -stable, thanks!
