According to 3GPP R8/R9/R10/R11, the mobility option "3GPP Specific PMIPv6
error
code" is 1 octet length.

However, in the source file packet-mip6.c, the length of the option is set to 4
octets (around line 1744):

    /*  2, 3GPP Specific PMIPv6 Error Code */
    case 2:
        proto_tree_add_item(tree, hf_mip6_opt_3gpp_spec_pmipv6_err_code, tvb,
offset, 4, ENC_BIG_ENDIAN);
        break;

Due to this, a MIPv6 packet which contains this option is displayed as
malformed packet.
Attached patch fixes the issue. The patch passed 1024 rounds of fuzz test.
