By trying to setup the multicast interface scoped routes by default I
just found a bug in this patch essentially breaking ipv6 multicast. I
overlooked that ipv6_addr_type strips off the scopes, thus my check if
a multicast address needs a scope_id always returns true. I'll check
if I can convert the ipv6_addr_type calls to __ipv6_addr_type and will
reroll the patch.  Sorry, my tests were too focused on interface/local
multicast. :(
