net: vrf: Handle ipv6 multicast and link-local addresses
IPv6 multicast and link-local addresses require special handling by the
VRF driver:
1. Rather than using the VRF device index and full FIB lookups,
packets to/from these addresses should use direct FIB lookups based on
the VRF device table.
2. fail sends/receives on a VRF device to/from a multicast address
(e.g, make ping6 ff02::1%<vrf> fail)
3. move the setting of the flow oif to the first dst lookup and revert
the change in icmpv6_echo_reply made in ca25449 ("net: Add VRF
support to IPv6 stack"). Linklocal/mcast addresses require use of the
skb->dev.
With this change connections into and out of a VRF enslaved device work
for multicast and link-local addresses work (icmp, tcp, and udp)
e.g.,
1. packets into VM with VRF config:
ping6 -c3 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974%br1
ping6 -c3 ff02::1%br1
ssh -6 fe80::e0:f9ff:fe1c:b974%br1
2. packets going out a VRF enslaved device:
ping6 -c3 fe80::18f8:83ff:fe4b:7a2e%eth1
ping6 -c3 ff02::1%eth1
ssh -6 root@fe80::18f8:83ff:fe4b:7a2e%eth1
