Subject: [PATCH] nfs: fix dead code of ipv6_addr_scope

The correct way to check on IPV6_ADDR_SCOPE_LINKLOCAL is to check with
the ipv6_addr_src_scope function.

Currently this can't be work, because ipv6_addr_scope returns a int with
a mask of IPV6_ADDR_SCOPE_MASK (0x00f0U) and IPV6_ADDR_SCOPE_LINKLOCAL
is 0x02. So the condition is always false.

I think ipv6_addr_src_scope should be correct, can somebody from netdev ml
confirm this please?
I stumple over that and I did not compile and test it. Maybe this is something
for stable?
