Subject: [PATCH net-next v3 2/7] ipv6: Add case for IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT in EH TLV switch

IPV6_TLV_TNL_ENCAP_LIMIT is a recognized Destination option that is
processed in ip_tunnel.c. Add a case for it in the switch in
ip6_parse_tlv so that it is recognized as a known option.

Also remove the unlikely around the check for max_count < 0 since the
default limits for HBH and Destination options can be less than zero.
