Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6 mcast: Do not join device multicast for interface-local
 multicasts.

RFC4291 (IPv6 addressing architecture) says that interface-Local scope
spans only a single interface on a node.  We should not join L2 device
multicast list for addresses in interface-local (or smaller) scope.
