Subject: [PATCH] [IPv6]: IPV6_MULTICAST_IF setting is ignored on link-local
 connect()

Trying to connect() to an IPv6 link-local multicast address by
specifying the outgoing multicast interface doesn't work, you have to
bind to a device first with an SO_BINDTODEVICE setsockopt() call.  This
patch allows the IPV6_MULTICAST_IF setting to also control which
interface should be used for the connection, as specified in RFC 3493.
