Subject: [RFC PATCH 5/5] net: add FCLONE_SCRATCH use to ipv6 udp path

From: root <root@...-dinar-01.lab.bos.redhat.com>

Like the ipv4 path, the ipv6 path can benefit from this change by taking
advantage of the unused space at the tail of an skbuffs data area.  Mark ipv6
udp multicast frames as being elligible for scratch fcloning.
