ipvs: fix bind to link-local mcast IPv6 address in backup
When using HEAD from https://git.kernel.org/cgit/utils/kernel/ipvsadm/ipvsadm.git/ , the command: ipvsadm --start-daemon backup --mcast-interface eth0.60 \ --mcast-group ff02::1:81 fails with the error message: Argument list too long whereas both: ipvsadm --start-daemon master --mcast-interface eth0.60 \ --mcast-group ff02::1:81 and: ipvsadm --start-daemon backup --mcast-interface eth0.60 \ --mcast-group 224.0.0.81 are successful. The error message "Argument list too long" isn't helpful. The error occurs because an IPv6 address is given in backup mode. The error is in make_receive_sock() in net/netfilter/ipvs/ip_vs_sync.c, since it fails to set the interface on the address or the socket before calling inet6_bind() (via sock->ops->bind), where the test 'if (!sk->sk_bound_dev_if)' failed. Setting sock->sk->sk_bound_dev_if on the socket before calling inet6_bind() resolves the issue.
