Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6: fix compiler warning in ipv6_exthdrs_len

Commit 299603e8370a93dd5d8e8d800f0dff1ce2c53d36 ("net-gro: Prepare GRO
stack for the upcoming tunneling support") used an uninitialized variable
which leads to the following compiler warning:

net/ipv6/ip6_offload.c: In function ‘ipv6_gro_complete’:
net/ipv6/ip6_offload.c:178:24: warning: ‘optlen’ may be used uninitialized in this function [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]
    opth = (void *)opth + optlen;
                        ^
net/ipv6/ip6_offload.c:164:22: note: ‘optlen’ was declared here
  int len = 0, proto, optlen;
                      ^
Fix it up.

I just noticed this and tried to fix it. Jerry, could you please review?
I hope I got it right. ;)
