net: reallocate new socket option number for IPV6_AUTOFLOWLABEL



cb1ce2ef ("ipv6: Implement automatic flow label generation on transmit")
accidentally uses socket option 64, which is already used by ip6tables:

 IP6T_SO_SET_REPLACE / IP6T_SO_GET_INFO               64
 IP6T_SO_SET_ADD_COUNTERS / IP6T_SO_GET_ENTRIES       65

There is comment include/uapi/linux/in6.h warning about that.

Allocate 70 for this, which seems to be unused instead.
