Subject: iproute2-4.16.0 no longer accepts routes via fe80::1

Hi,

I upgraded to iproute2-4.16.0 and rebooted my system.

On start I noticed that my IPv6 default route via "fe80::1" was rejected:

> # ip route add default via ff80::1
> Error: inet address is expected rather than "ff80::1".

This works fine with <iproute2-4.16.0.
