Maxim Mikityanskiy March 11, 2022, 4:36 p.m. UTC 
bpf_tcp_gen_syncookie expects the full length of the TCP header (with
all options), and bpf_tcp_check_syncookie accepts lengths bigger than
sizeof(struct tcphdr). Fix the documentation that says these lengths
should be exactly sizeof(struct tcphdr).

While at it, fix a typo in the name of struct ipv6hdr.
