Subject: [PATCH resend] [IPV6] remove sysctl accept_source_route

The only place where the accpet_source_route flag is checked is when we
are processing the type 2 routing header. In that case we only allow it if
it (1) has only segments left = 1 and (2) if it matches our home address,
which is the behavior required by RFC 6275 (see sections 8.5, 11.3.3), and
it doesn't make sense to block rh2 when we're a mobile node.
