Subject: [PATCH 44/47] netfilter: conntrack: don't log "invalid" icmpv6 connections

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

When enabling logging for invalid connections we currently also log most
icmpv6 types, which we don't track intentionally (e.g. neigh discovery).
"invalid" should really mean "invalid", i.e. short header or bad checksum.

We don't do any logging for icmp(v4) either, its just useless noise.
