Actually, I think I'm going to put in a slightly different
fix.

If tcp4_md5sig_key and tcp6_md5sig_key have to begin with exacytly
tcp_md5sig_key's only two members, we should fully tell this
explicitly to the compiler and remove those ugly casts.

The casts are the real bug.

Here is the patch I will use after some testing:
