[Bug libc/4181] New: inet6_opt_append is broken

["hugosantos at gmail dot com" <sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org>]

inet6_opt_append is broken and does not work with RFC 3542 supplied examples.

The problem is the following code:

  /* Now we can check whether the buffer is large enough.  */
  if (data_offset + npad + len > extlen)
    return -1;

Which should only be called if extbuf isn't NULL as any extlen is valid if
extbuf == NULL.

x = inet6_opt_init(NULL, 0);
x = inet6_opt_append(NULL, 0, x, OPT_FOO, size, align, NULL); /* should work but
fails */
