If I look at the ipv6_find_hdr code, it will actually loop until
all headers have been visited, because no header will equal -1.

Eventually it will stop because there are no next headers
anymore. So -1 will point at the last header before the payload.

I think -1 is still the right target, as we already know it's
about ICMP.
Still the question remains is why do we get an ENOENT when
looking for NEXTHDR_ICMP ?
