-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------
From: David L Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com>
When an IPv6 router is forwarding a packet with a link-local scope source
address off-link, RFC 4007 requires it to send an ICMPv6 destination
unreachable with code 2 ("not neighbor"), but Linux doesn't. Fix below.
