ipv6: Fix return value of ipv6_mc_may_pull() for malformed packets

Browse Source 
Commit ba5ea61462 ("bridge: simplify ip_mc_check_igmp() and
ipv6_mc_check_mld() calls") replaces direct calls to pskb_may_pull()
in br_ipv6_multicast_mld2_report() with calls to ipv6_mc_may_pull(),
that returns -EINVAL on buffers too short to be valid IPv6 packets,
while maintaining the previous handling of the return code.

This leads to the direct opposite of the intended effect: if the
packet is malformed, -EINVAL evaluates as true, and we'll happily
proceed with the processing.

Return 0 if the packet is too short, in the same way as this was
fixed for IPv4 by commit 083b78a9ed ("ip: fix ip_mc_may_pull()
return value").

I don't have a reproducer for this, unlike the one referred to by
the IPv4 commit, but this is clearly broken.
