when no locking is required.

  Log Message:
  -----------
  datapath: Use upstream ipv6_find_hdr().

ipv6_find_hdr() already fixed in newer upstram kernel by Ansis, we
can start using this API safely.
This patch also backports fix (ipv6: ipv6_find_hdr restore prev
functionality) to compat ipv6_find_hdr().
