Technically, this is just sk_is_icmpv6, which is broader than IPv6
multicast routing.
There are no other ICMPv6 specific ioctls defined, and even if there
were this callback would return 1 and continue. So I suppose it is
okay.
No other concerns from me.
Two small asides, that are fine to ignore.
The $PROTO_sk_ioctl functions could conceivably call directly into
the $PROTO_ioctl functions without the indirect function pointer.
But that would require open coding the sock_sk_ioctl_inout helpers.
The demux now first checks relatively unlikely multicast routing
and phonet before falling through to the more common protocols. But
ioctl is not a hot path operation.
