The per-cpu ICMP6 socket locking is optimized assuming that
we'll never reenter the ICMP6 packet sending code on the
same processor, this link failure path is causing that to
happen.

Good thing the BUG() is there, else you'd get a lockup in this case
instead which would take us longer to hunt down :-)

I'll see what I can do about this one.
