Jiri Olsa f4f914b580 net: ipv6 bind to device issue
The issue raises when having 2 NICs both assigned the same
IPv6 global address.

If a sender binds to a particular NIC (SO_BINDTODEVICE),
the outgoing traffic is being sent via the first found.
The bonded device is thus not taken into an account during the
routing.

From the ip6_route_output function:

If the binding address is multicast, linklocal or loopback,
the RT6_LOOKUP_F_IFACE bit is set, but not for global address.

So binding global address will neglect SO_BINDTODEVICE-binded device,
because the fib6_rule_lookup function path won't check for the
flowi::oif field and take first route that fits.
