Danielle Ratson 9dfa6cca89 ipv6: ndisc: Add ndisc_check_ns_na() validation helper
Add ndisc_check_ns_na(), a standalone NS/NA packet validator modeled
after ipv6_mc_check_mld(). It performs the RFC 4861 section 7.1.1
(Neighbor Solicitation) and 7.1.2 (Neighbor Advertisement) mandatory
checks that are relevant for software operating at the bridge level,
where packets bypass the normal IPv6 stack path:

 - Hop Limit must be 255 (packet was not forwarded by a router)
 - ICMPv6 checksum is valid
 - ICMP Code is 0
 - ICMP length is at least 24 octets (sizeof(struct nd_msg))
 - Target Address must not be a multicast address
 - All included options have a length that is greater than zero
 - NS/DAD: destination must be a solicited-node multicast address
 - NS/DAD: no Source Link-Layer Address option when source is unspecified
 - NA: Solicited flag must be 0 when IP Destination is multicast

On success the function sets the skb transport header and returns 0,
matching the convention of ipv6_mc_check_mld().
