I think we can test this better.
You should be able to audit the call sites and for each one set the
value of a new boolean argument properly, and this way you can also
give the boolean argument a descriptive name.
Furthermore, we can also then pull the inet6_addr allocation out of
the locking paths and thus use GFP_KERNEL when possible.
