I haven't done the math, but to make sure you don't add a padding hole you could
put this next to mcast_oif.  'pahole -C ipv6_pinfo net/built-in.o' showed there
was 5 bytes of padding in this cache line.

Nitpick: is ucast_oif a better name?

This snippet shows (and rawv6_sendmsg() has the same problem), that
IPV6_UNICAST_IF can also affect multicast packets.  And I think we always want
SO_BINDTODEVICE to override them all.  Perhaps these checks should be:

	if (!fl6.flowi6_oif)
		fl6.flowi6_oif = sk->sk_bound_dev_if;

	if (!fl6.flowi6_oif)
		if (ipv6_addr_is_multicast(&fl6.daddr))
			fl6.flowi6_oif = np->mcast_oif;
		else
			fl6.flowi6_oif = np->ucast_oif;

All callers of this already have 'np', you could just pass it along.  Or with
the above change you don't even need it.  IPv4 code as well.

I think you should change this like above.

This too, letting np->ucast_oif be third after PKTINFO, there's a multicast
check below in this code.
