The changes introduced with git-commit a02e4b7d missed to remove the hoplimit initialization. As a result, ipv6_get_mtu interprets the return value of dst_metric_raw (-1) as 255 and answers ping6 with this hoplimit. This patche removes the line such that ping6 is answered with the hoplimit value configured via sysctl.
