A kernel panic can happen if a host has disabled IPv6 on boot and have to
process guest packets (coming from a bridge) using it's ip6tables.
IPv6 packets need to be dropped if the IPv6 module is not loaded, and the
host ip6tables will be used.
Signed-off-by: Leonardo Bras <leonardo@linux.ibm.com>

Changes from v4:
- Check if the host ip6tables is going to be used before testing
ipv6 module presence
- Adds a warning about ipv6 module disabled.

pr_warn_once needs a '\n'. Pablo, can you mangle this locally when
applying?
Patch looks good to me, so:
