Subject: [PATCH 3/4] NET : makes ipv6 use the  {DEFINE|REF}_PROTO_INUSE infrastructure

Trivial patch to make "tcpv6,udpv6,udplitev6,rawv6" protocols uses the 
fast "inuse sockets" infrastructure

Each protocol use then a static percpu var, instead of a dynamic one. 
This saves some ram and some cpu cycles
