ping6: Fix send to link-local addresses with VRF.



Ping sockets can't send packets when they're bound to a VRF master
device and the output interface is set to a slave device.

For example, when net.ipv4.ping_group_range is properly set, so that
ping6 can use ping sockets, the following kind of commands fails:
  $ ip vrf exec red ping6 fe80::854:e7ff:fe88:4bf1%eth1

What happens is that sk->sk_bound_dev_if is set to the VRF master
device, but 'oif' is set to the real output device. Since both are set
but different, ping_v6_sendmsg() sees their value as inconsistent and
fails.

Fix this by allowing 'oif' to be a slave device of ->sk_bound_dev_if.

This fixes the following kselftest failure:
  $ ./fcnal-test.sh -t ipv6_ping
  [...]
  TEST: ping out, vrf device+address bind - ns-B IPv6 LLA        [FAIL]
