Subject: [PATCH v1] IB/CMA: Fix to handle global/non-linklocal IPv6 address in 
cma_check_linklocal()

Even if the addr is not a linklocal address, the code treats it as such and 
assigns the bound dev addr to the scope id of the address which is invalid.
Fix by checking if it's a link local address first and return 0 if not.
