Extend the `check_for_dependencies()` function in `lib_netcons.sh` to check whether IPv6 is enabled by verifying the existence of `/proc/net/if_inet6`. Having IPv6 is a now a dependency of netconsole tests. If the file does not exist, the script will skip the test with an appropriate message suggesting to verify if `CONFIG_IPV6` is enabled. This prevents the test to misbehave if IPv6 is not configured.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
