Hi.

I think there is a bug in ip6t_LOG. When packet contains IPPROTO_HOPOPTS
extended header, only 'PROTO=0' is printed out and iteration through the
headers stops. That's because return value from ip6_nexthdr indicating
no next header is the same as IPPROTO_HOPOPTS.

The following patch changes this value to IPPROTO_NONE.
