Subject: [PATCH net 4/5] netfilter: xt_recent: fix (increase) ipv6 literal buffer length

From: Maciej Żenczykowski <zenczykowski@...il.com>

in6_pton() supports 'low-32-bit dot-decimal representation'
(this is useful with DNS64/NAT64 networks for example):

  # echo +aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:1.2.3.4 > /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
  # cat /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
  src=aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:0102:0304 ttl: 0 last_seen: 9733848829 oldest_pkt: 1 9733848829

but the provided buffer is too short:

  # echo +aaaa:bbbb:cccc:dddd:eeee:ffff:255.255.255.255 > /proc/self/net/xt_recent/DEFAULT
  -bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument
