uapi: in6: restore visibility of most IPv6 socket options

Browse Source 
[ Upstream commit 31557b3487 ]

A decade ago commit 6d08acd2d3 ("in6: fix conflict with glibc")
hid the definitions of IPV6 options, because GCC was complaining
about duplicates. The commit did not list the warnings seen, but
trying to recreate them now I think they are (building iproute2):

In file included from ./include/uapi/rdma/rdma_user_cm.h:39,
                 from rdma.h:16,
                 from res.h:9,
                 from res-ctx.c:7:

      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Compilers don't complain about redefinition if the defines
are identical, but here we have the kernel using the literal
value, and glibc using an indirection (defining to a name
of another define, with the same numerical value).

Problem is, the commit in question hid all the IPV6 socket
options, and glibc has a pretty sparse list. For instance
it lacks Flow Label related options. Willem called this out
in commit 3fb321fde2 ("selftests/net: ipv6 flowlabel"):

  /* uapi/glibc weirdness may leave this undefined */
  #ifndef IPV6_FLOWINFO
  #define IPV6_FLOWINFO 11
  #endif

More interestingly some applications (socat) use
a #ifdef IPV6_FLOWINFO to gate compilation of thier
rudimentary flow label support. (For added confusion
socat misspells it as IPV4_FLOWINFO in some places.)

Hide only the two defines we know glibc has a problem
with. If we discover more warnings we can hide more
but we should avoid covering the entire block of
defines for "IPV6 socket options".
