net: ipv4: route: Fix sending IGMP messages with link address



In setups with a global scope address on an interface, and a lesser
scope address on an interface sending IGMP reports, the reports can be
sent using the other interfaces global scope address rather than the
local interface address. RFC 2236 suggests:

     Ignore the Report if you cannot identify the source address of
     the packet as belonging to a subnet assigned to the interface on
     which the packet was received.

since such reports could be forged.

Look at the protocol when deciding if a RT_SCOPE_LINK address should
be used for the packet.
