We should take ip6_fl_lock here, otherwise expires extraction races with
the garbage collector (which can update it). There seem to be some other
unsafe places, e.g. fl6_renew.

Maybe return -EINVAL for not found?

Can you think about other actions one might do with this getsockopt? Maybe
we should copy_from_user freq and check if action specifies a GET
request. So a further extension to this API won't break users which did
pass uninitialized memory to this getsockopt.

I guess return 0 is enough here. The break is superfluous.
