Hi, Eric && David

    icmp: Account for ICMP out errors

    When ip_append() fails because of socket limit or memory shortage,
    increment ICMP_MIB_OUTERRORS counter, so that "netstat -s" can report
    these errors.

    LANG=C netstat -s | grep "ICMP messages failed"
        0 ICMP messages failed

    For IPV6, implement ICMP6_MIB_OUTERRORS counter as well.

    # grep Icmp6OutErrors /proc/net/dev_snmp6/*
    /proc/net/dev_snmp6/eth0:Icmp6OutErrors                     0
    /proc/net/dev_snmp6/lo:Icmp6OutErrors                       0

When ping from a PC to a board (MIPS 32 core), because of socket limit,
ping echo will fail. But ICMP_MIB_OUTERRORS counter is not incremented.
In this case, "netstat -s" can not report these errors.

This patch will fix this problem. Now it is in the attachment. Please check it.

Best Regards!
