    1. For an IPv4 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr does not check
       the family of the socket address that's passed in. Instead,
       make it behave like inet_bind, which enforces either that the
       address family is AF_INET, or that the family is AF_UNSPEC and
       the address is 0.0.0.0.
    2. For an IPv6 ping socket, ping_check_bind_addr returns EINVAL
       if the socket family is not AF_INET6. Return EAFNOSUPPORT
       instead, for consistency with inet6_bind.
    3. Make ping_v4_sendmsg and ping_v6_sendmsg return EAFNOSUPPORT
       instead of EINVAL if an incorrect socket address structure is
       passed in.
    4. Make IPv6 ping sockets be IPv6-only. The code does not support
       IPv4, and it cannot easily be made to support IPv4 because
       the protocol numbers for ICMP and ICMPv6 are different. This
       makes connect(::ffff:192.0.2.1) fail with EAFNOSUPPORT instead
       of making the socket unusable.
    
    Among other things, this fixes an oops that can be triggered by:
    
        int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_ICMP);
        struct sockaddr_in6 sin6 = {
            .sin6_family = AF_INET6,
            .sin6_addr = in6addr_any,
        };
        bind(s, (struct sockaddr *) &sin6, sizeof(sin6));
