ipv6: use the right ifindex when replying to icmpv6 from localhost
When replying to a ICMPv6 echo request that comes from localhost address
the right output ifindex is 1 (lo) and not rt6i_idev dev index. Use the
skb device ifindex instead. This fixes pinging to a local address from
localhost source address.
$ ping6 -I ::1 2001:1:1::2 -c 3
PING 2001:1:1::2 (2001:1:1::2) from ::1 : 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 2001:1:1::2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.037 ms
64 bytes from 2001:1:1::2: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.069 ms
64 bytes from 2001:1:1::2: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.122 ms
2001:1:1::2 ping statistics
3 packets transmitted, 3 received, 0% packet loss, time 2032ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.037/0.076/0.122/0.035 ms
