This patch adds a per namespace sysctl, named 'seg6_flowlabel', to be used
by seg6_do_srh_encap() to control the behaviour of setting the flowlabel
value of outer IPv6.

The currently support behaviours are as follows:
-1 set flowlabel to zero.
 0 copy flowlabel from Inner paceket in case of Inner IPv6 (0 for IPv4/L2)
 1 Compute the flowlabel using seg6_make_flowlabel()

There really isn't a reason to make this a separate patch.

Adding a sysctl that nothing refers to doesn't add much value.

So please combine patches #1 and #2.

Ok, I will combine them and send you a new patch.
