[IPV6]: Fix IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS getsockopt().
> Relevant standard (RFC 3493) notes:
>
> The IPV6_UNICAST_HOPS option may be used with getsockopt() to
> determine the hop limit value that the system will use for subsequent
> unicast packets sent via that socket.

> I don't reckon -1 could be the hop limit value.
-1 means un-initialized.

The following patch seems to work for me, but this code has behaved this
way for a while, so don't know if it will break any existing apps.
