Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: honor ifindex in case we receive ll addresses in router advertisements

Marc Haber reported we don't honor interface indexes when we receive link
local router addresses in router advertisements. Luckily the non-strict
version of ipv6_chk_addr already does the correct job here, so we can
simply use it to lighten the checks and use those addresses by default
without any configuration change.
