The compiler is failing to draw the connection between
slice cap and slice len, so is missing some obvious BCE opportunities.
Give it a hint by making the cap equal to the length.
The generated code is smaller and cleaner, and a bit faster.

The packet filter still rejects all IPv6, but decodes enough from v6
packets to do something smarter in a followup.
