Checksum of ICMPv6 is not properly computed because the pseudo header is not used.
Thus, the MLD packet gets dropped by the bridge. This patch fixes the problem for my
testbed. This bug was made visible by commit ff9a57a62afbbe2d0f3a09af321f1fd7645f38a.

This patch has been tested on 3.0.3. Due to lack of understanding on the checksum
optimization and multicast snooping of the kernel stack, can someone please verify the
correctness of this patch?
