[IPV6]: Send ICMPv6 error on scope violations.
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. Signed-off-by: David L Stevens <dlstevens@us.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
