ipv6/exthdrs: accept tlv which includes only padding
In rfc4942 and rfc2460 I cannot find anything which would implicate to drop packets which have only padding in tlv. Current behaviour breaks TAHI Test v6LC.1.2.6. Problem was intruduced in: 9b905fe6843 "ipv6/exthdrs: strict Pad1 and PadN check" Signed-off-by: Jiri Pirko <jiri@resnulli.us> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
