====

This patch is an update patch of
  #1826783: Update icmpMsgStatsTable III

The patch doesn't deal with the change of the content 
in proc file because of the method to read counters.

For example, when reading icm6OutMsgs, snmpd picks the 
value from /proc/net/snmp6 by the following judgement.

=== linux_read_icmp6_parse() in kernel_linux.c ===
             } else if ('M' == line[8]) {
                 cached_icmp6_mib.icmp6OutMsgs = stats;
             } else if ('N' == line[8]) {
===

However, this judgement also picks new entry
Icmp6InMLDv2Reports. Similar to this, the judgement
for Icmp6OutMsgs picks Icmp6OutMLDv2Reports, the one
for Icmp6OutTimeExcds hits Icmp6OutTypeX.

Although it costs, it's better compare total string
to correspond with the change of the kernel.
