Subject: [PATCH] ipv6_skip_exthdr: use ipv6_authlen for AH hdrlen

In ipv6_skip_exthdr, the lengh of AH header is computed manually
as (hp->hdrlen+2)<<2. However, in include/linux/ipv6.h, a macro
named ipv6_authlen is already defined for exactly the same job. This
commit replaces the manual computation code with the macro.
