As YOSHIFUJI Hideaki noticed, changing 'len' influences the
argument to ip6_nd_hdr(), which is not a side effect we wanted.
We only wanted the allocation length to be increased by
sizeof(struct ipv6hdr).
This is the correct version of the fix.

[IPV6] NDISC: Calculate packet length correctly for allocation.
MAX_HEADER does not include the ipv6 header length in it,
so we need to add it in explicitly.
With help from YOSHIFUJI Hideaki.
