PATCH 1/1 ipv6: Consider sk_bound_dev_if when binding a socket to an address

From: David Ahern <[email protected]>

IPv6 does not consider if the socket is bound to a device when binding to an address. The result is that a socket can be bound to eth0 and then bound to the address of eth1. If the device is a VRF, the result is that a socket can only be bound to an address in the default VRF.

Resolve by considering the device if sk_bound_dev_if is set.

This problem exists from the beginning of git history.
