When this gets pulled into iproute2's include/linux/seg6.h due to
header rebase, we still have the same effect.

__USE_KERNEL_IPV6_DEFS gets defined by ip/iproute_lwtunnel.c, and
when we then include above header, we end up including linux/in6.h
just like before, same compile error in iproute2.

Or, is there still another fix for iproute2 coming after this has
landed?

Thanks,
Daniel
