[PATCH] [BRIDGE-NF] Fix bridge-nf ipv6 length check

Hi Dave,

A typo caused some bridged IPv6 packets to get dropped randomly,
as reported by Sebastien Chaumontet. The patch below fixes this
(using skb->nh.raw instead of raw) and also makes the jumbo packet
length checking up-to-date with the code in
net/ipv6/exthdrs.c::ipv6_hop_jumbo.
This is probably a candidate for -stable.

Please apply,
Bart
