Should include <linux/compat.h>, use compat types, and be guarded
by CONFIG_COMPAT.  This goes for all such structures.

Where is ip6_mc_compat_msfget() header file declaration?

This following call casts the 5th argument to "struct group_filter"
but the argument type in the implementation is...

"struct compat_group_filter".

You didn't catch this because you forgot to add the extern
prototype to the header file.  Actually, I wonder if you test
built this at all, as gcc should have warned about the lack of
extern declaration when compiling ipv6_sockglue.c

Thanks for doing this work, please make corrections and I also
look forward to your ipv4 side fixes.
