Similar to the earlier patch that changes sk_getsockopt() to
use sockopt_{lock,release}_sock() such that it can avoid taking the
lock when called from bpf. This patch also changes do_ipv6_getsockopt()
to use sockopt_{lock,release}_sock() such that bpf_getsockopt(SOL_IPV6)
can reuse do_ipv6_getsockopt().
Although bpf_getsockopt(SOL_IPV6) currently does not support optname
that requires lock_sock(), using sockopt_{lock,release}_sock()
consistently across *_getsockopt() will make future optname addition
harder to miss the sockopt_{lock,release}_sock() usage. eg. when
adding new optname that requires a lock and the new optname is
needed in bpf_getsockopt() also.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
