newinet->pinet6 = inet6_sk_generic(newsk);
newinet->ipv6_fl_list = NULL;
newinet->inet_opt = NULL;

newnp->ipv6_mc_list = NULL;
newnp->ipv6_ac_list = NULL;

I noticed these fields are reset after sk_clone() for both SCTP and TCP.
I believe the same applies to MPTCP.

If that's the case, is it possible to move their initialization up into
sk_clone()? Doing so would address both issues in this patchset.

Also, memcpy(newnp, inet6_sk(sk), sizeof(struct ipv6_pinfo)) might be
redundant, since sock_copy() already copies this with prot->obj_size.

Thanks.
