Hum..can we just ignore the sync of the sticky option and the SO_BINDTODEVICE,
when send a message,first check sk_bound_dev_if,If it is specified,use it,otherwise
use sticky option?This was what i ment. and in my patch ,the outgoing interface 
specified by sticky options will be overrided by the interface specified by 
SO_BINDTODEVICE.
