inet_diag: fix oops for IPv4 AF_INET6 TCP SYN-RECV state



Fix inet_diag to be aware of the fact that AF_INET6 TCP connections
instantiated for IPv4 traffic and in the SYN-RECV state were actually
created with inet_reqsk_alloc(), instead of inet6_reqsk_alloc(). This
means that for such connections inet6_rsk(req) returns a pointer to a
random spot in memory up to roughly 64KB beyond the end of the
request_sock.

With this bug, for a server using AF_INET6 TCP sockets and serving
IPv4 traffic, an inet_diag user like `ss state SYN-RECV` would lead to
inet_diag_fill_req() causing an oops or the export to user space of 16
bytes of kernel memory as a garbage IPv6 address, depending on where
the garbage inet6_rsk(req) pointed.
