ipv6: make ipv6_renew_options() interrupt/kernel safe

At present the ipv6_renew_options_kern() function ends up calling into
access_ok() which is problematic if done from inside an interrupt as
access_ok() calls WARN_ON_IN_IRQ() on some (all?) architectures
(x86-64 is affected).  Example warning/backtrace is shown below:

While not present in the backtrace, ipv6_renew_option() ends up calling
access_ok() via the following chain:

  access_ok()
  _copy_from_user()
  copy_from_user()
  ipv6_renew_option()

The fix presented in this patch is to perform the userspace copy
earlier in the call chain such that it is only called when the option
data is actually coming from userspace; that place is
do_ipv6_setsockopt().  Not only does this solve the problem seen in
the backtrace above, it also allows us to simplify the code quite a
bit by removing ipv6_renew_options_kern() completely.  We also take
this opportunity to cleanup ipv6_renew_options()/ipv6_renew_option()
a small amount as well.

This patch is heavily based on a rough patch by Al Viro.  I've taken
his original patch, converted a kmemdup() call in do_ipv6_setsockopt()
to a memdup_user() call, made better use of the e_inval jump target in
the same function, and cleaned up the use ipv6_renew_option() by
ipv6_renew_options().
