    netfilter: nf_conntrack_ipv6: don't track ICMPv6 negotiation message
    
    This patch removes connection tracking handling for ICMPv6 messages
    related to Stateless Address Autoconfiguration, MLD, and MLDv2. They
    can not be tracked because they are massively using multicast (on
    pre-defined address). But they are not invalid and should not be
    detected as such.
