That's not all you are doing:

> +			ip6_mc_del1_src(pmc, sfmode, &psfsrc[j]);

You absolutely MUST mention and explain this (void) removal.
It's probably there to elide an unchecked return value
warning from the compiler.

since ip6_mc_del1_src() does not use __must_check likely attribute.
I try to compile with several gcc warning options, but do not
find which options can report the unchecked return value.

Maybe other tools will complain the unchecked return value.

So I will keep the void.

I said "probably", I didn't check myself.

The issue I had was that you didn't mention the void removal in the
commit message.
