[Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH net-next] ping: fix ipv6 ping socket flow labels

[Alan Brady <alan.brady@intel.com>]

Ping sockets don't appear to make any attempt to preserve flow labels
created and set by userspace. Instead they are always clobbered by
autolabels (if enabled) or zero.

This grabs the flowlabel out of the msghdr similar to how rawv6_sendmsg
does it and moves the memset up so we don't zero it.
