ipv6: fix memory leaks on IPV6_ADDRFORM path



IPV6_ADDRFORM causes resource leaks when converting an IPv6 socket
to IPv4, particularly struct ipv6_ac_socklist. Similar to
struct ipv6_mc_socklist, we should just close it on this path.

This bug can be easily reproduced with the following C program:

  #include <stdio.h>
  #include <string.h>
  #include <sys/types.h>
  #include <sys/socket.h>
  #include <arpa/inet.h>

  int main()
  {
    int s, value;
    struct sockaddr_in6 addr;
    struct ipv6_mreq m6;

    s = socket(AF_INET6, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
    addr.sin6_family = AF_INET6;
    addr.sin6_port = htons(5000);
    inet_pton(AF_INET6, "::ffff:192.168.122.194", &addr.sin6_addr);
    connect(s, (struct sockaddr *)&addr, sizeof(addr));

    inet_pton(AF_INET6, "fe80::AAAA", &m6.ipv6mr_multiaddr);
    m6.ipv6mr_interface = 5;
    setsockopt(s, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_JOIN_ANYCAST, &m6, sizeof(m6));

    value = AF_INET;
    setsockopt(s, SOL_IPV6, IPV6_ADDRFORM, &value, sizeof(value));

    close(s);
    return 0;
  }
