ICMPv6 header contains the checksum field, that includes the IP
addresses from IP header.
The ConnectX-5 hardware does not support ICMPv6 checksum calculation
and in case of IP header modification the checksum will contain
the wrong value.
The patch rejects the header modification actions related to IP
addresses if ICMPv6 protocol is detected in pattern.
This issue was also partly fixed in commit below which rejects
flows with the pattern "ipv6 proto is 58".
