Following part was needed before the blamed commit, because
inet_getpeer_v6() second argument was the prefix.
/* Give more bandwidth to wider prefixes. */
if (rt->rt6i_dst.plen < 128)
tmo >>= ((128 - rt->rt6i_dst.plen)>>5);
Now inet_getpeer_v6() retrieves hosts, we need to remove
@tmo adjustement or wider prefixes likes /24 allow 8x
more ICMP to be sent for a given ratelimit.
As we had this issue for a while, this patch changes net.ipv6.icmp.ratelimit
default value from 1000ms to 100ms to avoid potential regressions.
Also add a READ_ONCE() when reading net->ipv6.sysctl.icmpv6_time.
Fixes: fd0273d793 ("ipv6: Remove external dependency on rt6i_dst and rt6i_src")
