Gerrit Renker 26ced1e4aa inet6: Set default traffic class 
This patch addresses:
 * assigning -1 to np->tclass as it is currently done is not very meaningful,
   since it turns into 0xff;
 * RFC 3542, 6.5 allows -1 for clearing the sticky IPV6_TCLASS option
   and specifies -1 to mean "use kernel default":
   - RFC 2460, 7. requires that the default traffic class must be zero for
     all 8 bits,
   - this is consistent with RFC 2474, 4.1 which recommends a default PHB of 0,
     in combination with a value of the ECN field of "non-ECT" (RFC 3168, 5.).

This patch changes the meaning of -1 from assigning 255 to mean the RFC 2460
default, which at the same time allows to satisfy clearing the sticky TCLASS
option as per RFC 3542, 6.5.

(When passing -1 as ancillary data, the fallback remains np->tclass, which
 has either been set via socket options, or contains the default value.)
