ipv4: Fix IP timestamp option (IPOPT_TS_PRESPEC) handling in ip_options_echo()
The current handling of echoed IP timestamp options with prespecified addresses is rather broken since the 2.2.x kernels. As far as i understand it, it should behave like when originating packets. Currently it will only timestamp the next free slot if: - there is space for *two* timestamps - some random data from the echoed packet taken as an IP is *not* a local IP This first is caused by an off-by-one error. 'soffset' points to the next free slot and so we only need to have 'soffset + 7 <= optlen'. The second bug is using sptr as the start of the option, when it really is set to 'skb_network_header(skb)'. I just use dptr instead which points to the timestamp option. Finally it would only timestamp for non-local IPs, which we shouldn't do. So instead we exclude all unicast destinations, similar to what we do in ip_options_compile().
