[PATCH] ip6_tunnel - endianness annotations

[PATCH] ip6_tunnel - endianness annotations

[Al Viro]

Convert rel_info to host-endian before calling ip6_tnl_err().
The things become much more straightforward that way.
The key observation (and the reason why that code actually
worked) is that after ip6_tnl_err() we either immediately
bailed out or had rel_info set to 0 or had it set to host-endian
and guaranteed to hit
(rel_type == ICMP_DEST_UNREACH && rel_code == ICMP_FRAG_NEEDED)
case.  So inconsistent endianness didn't really lead to bugs,
but it had been subtle and prone to breakage.  New variant is
saner and obviously safe.
