  RFC3542 6.2 says: the kernel must verify that the requested source address 
is indeed a unicast address. If a multicast address is specified, what should 
kernel do ? returns error or choose source address by itself.
  ipv6_chk_addr()

if oif==0 and address is link-local.
now it does well,not returns EINVAL.
