Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: remove redundant store to value after addition

There is no need to store the result of the addition back to variable count
after the addition. The store is redundant, replace += with just +

Cleans up clang scan build warning:
warning: Although the value stored to 'count' is used in the enclosing
expression, the value is never actually read from 'count'
