netlink: specs: rt-link: re-align ifla-inet6-stats

Browse source

YNL enum ifla-inet6-stats got misaligned with C, as two commits
reordered the enum.

In commit b4a11b2033 ("net: fix IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKGS increment in
OutForwDatagrams."), IPSTATS_MIB_OUTPKTS was renamed to _OUTREQUESTS
and a new _OUTPKTS was as the last entry.

In commit 652e2c7778 ("net: reorganize IP MIB values (II)"), the
IPSTATS_MIB_* enum was reorganized for data locality.

Neither of these commits updated the YNL spec.

This changed uAPI, as IPSTATS_MIB_* is used as indicies in an u64 array,
exported as IFLA_INET6_STATS by inet6_fill_ifla6_stats_attrs().

This patch updates ifla-inet6-stats to reflect both of these commits.
Next time we want to reorganize these counters we should properly apply
mapping as to maintain the current order on the netlink side.

While touching these entries, also remove the dash from ect{0,1}-pkts,
so that they align with the C naming.

This pre-existing issue was identified by Sashiko during review of
commit 2b0aecb7b2 ("netlink: specs: rt-link: add accept-ra-min-lft").
