Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: routing header fixes

This patch fixes two bugs:

1. setsockopt() of anything but a Type 2 routing header should return 
EINVAL instead of EPERM.  Noticed by Shan Wei (shanwei@...fujitsu.com).

2. setsockopt()/sendmsg() of a Type 2 routing header with invalid length 
or segments should return EINVAL.  These values are statically fixed in 
RFC 3775, unlike the variable Type 0 was.
