Subject: Re: [PATCH net-next 10/14] ipv6: ICMP6MSGIN_INC_STATS is not used

This is there to parallel the definitions for other stats
macros. I don't think it should be removed, since it's
part of the standard interface for incrementing counters.
If someone has a need to increment it without, say, _BH,
I wouldn't want them to have to come up with it from
scratch again...

It's cost is the two lines of code it takes, but you could
consider it "documentation" for any future users that
want that variant.
