proxy_ndp can be enabled per interface, with net.ipv6.conf.all.proxy_ndp
as a global default. ndisc_recv_ns() checks both, but ip6_forward() and
ndisc_recv_na() check only the global value. With the per-interface proxy
ndp set and the global one left at 0, the router answers proxy NS but
does not pass NDP messages to the proxied target.
Check both values at these two sites, as ndisc_recv_ns() already does.
Fixes: fbea49e1e240 ("[IPV6] NDISC: Add proxy_ndp sysctl.")
