Subject: regression: Apparently missing err assignment in ipv6 bind

AFAICT, 2.6.30.5 and 2.6.31-rc7 both include a change in net/ipv6/af_inet6.c

http://lxr.linux.no/linux+v2.6.30.5/net/ipv6/af_inet6.c#L298

which results in a possible error return path with no err assignment.
I believe the error should be EADDRNOTAVAIL.
