It does not overriding the outgoing interface.
when no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data item(as with
 SO_BINDTODEVICE), the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky 
optionins  is used.

If outgoing interface is set with SO_BINDTODEVICE and also sticky pktinfo
the outgoing interface is exactly what SO_BINDTODEVICE set,because in my
first patch,when set sticy pktinfo,outgoing interface set by SO_BINDTODEVICE
is checked:

+		if(sk->sk_bound_dev_if && pkt.ipi6_ifindex != sk->sk_bound_dev_if)
+			goto e_inval;
