Subject: [PATCH] net: Keep interface binding when sending packets with 
	ipi_ifindex = 0

In IPv4, sending a packet with ipi_ifindex = 0 via an interface-bound
socket will unbind the packet to that interface. This behavior is
different from IPv6 which treats ipi6_ifindex = 0 as unspecified.
Furthermore, IPv6 does not allow sending packets to other interface
than the bound one, but I am not sure if it is necessary in IPv4. The
following patch keeps the interface binding when ipi_ifindex = 0.

Thanks,
Chia-chi
