[lvc-project] [PATCH 6.1/6.6 1/2] net: ipv6: Make udp_tunnel6_xmit_skb() void

From: Petr Machata <petrm at nvidia.com>

commit 6a7d88ca15f73c5c570c372238f71d63da1fda55 upstream.

The function always returns zero, thus the return value does not carry any
signal. Just make it void.

Most callers already ignore the return value. However:

- Refold arguments of the call from sctp_v6_xmit() so that they fit into
  the 80-column limit.

- tipc_udp_xmit() initializes err from the return value, but that should
  already be always zero at that point. So there's no practical change, but
  elision of the assignment prompts a couple more tweaks to clean up the
  function.
