[PATCH] IPv6 : add multicast routing verify which net_device is lo

From: Wang Xingtong <hidden>

In currently routing subsystem, when we lookup a multicast routing
to send muticast packets to outside, rt6_device_match will return
the rt6_info which it's match first. if we add a multicast route on
loopback devices beforce the others interface, rt6_device_match will
retrun the rt6_info which rt6i_dev->name is "lo". But, obviously,
we can't send a muticast packet to outside using loopback devices.
It case all multicast packets blocking.

Commit 4af04aba93f47699e disabled kernel add multicast route on lo
automatically. However,  we can't surmise the routing-add order or
interdict add multicast routing on loopback devices in user space.
The bug still exist. So, i think more stronger routing subsystem is
necessary.
