ipv6: some fixes for ipv6_dev_find()
This patch is to do 3 things for ipv6_dev_find(): As David A. noticed, - rt6_lookup() is not really needed. Different from __ip_dev_find(), ipv6_dev_find() doesn't have a compatibility problem, so remove it. As Hideaki suggested, - "valid" (non-tentative) check for the address is also needed. ipv6_chk_addr() calls ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags(), which will traverse the address hash list, but it's heavy to be called inside ipv6_dev_find(). This patch is to reuse the code of ipv6_chk_addr_and_flags() for ipv6_dev_find(). - dev parameter is passed into ipv6_dev_find(), as link-local addresses from user space has sin6_scope_id set and the dev lookup needs it.
