Subject: [PATCH net v2] net: ipv6: Fix a bug in ndisc_send_ns when netdev only has a global address

When the egress interface does not have a link local address, it can
not communicate with other hosts.

In RFC4861, 7.2.2 says
"If the source address of the packet prompting the solicitation is the
same as one of the addresses assigned to the outgoing interface, that
address SHOULD be placed in the IP Source Address of the outgoing
solicitation.  Otherwise, any one of the addresses assigned to the
interface should be used."

In this patch we try get a global address if we get ll address failed.
