Log:
  Remove in6_pcbdetach() as it is exactly the same function
  as in_pcbdetach() and we don't need the code twice.

Won't this affect our ability to build INET6, but non INET kernels? Not that we currently could, but if we ever wanted to?

INET6 already depends on other things in_pcb.c directly, such as in_pcballoc(). The distinction made between struct inpcb and struct in6pcb is artificial, and mostly quite confusing, so we've been gradually eliminating it. It's largely incompatible with the implementation of IPv4 addresses mapped into the IPv6 space, which relies on IPv6 sockets being able to be in IPv4 connection lists, etc. We have long-term plans to eliminate most of the macro aliasing of fields between the one structure.
