Reverse the sense of the promiscuous-mode tests in ip6_mc_input().

I had been suspicious of this code for a while, but just assumed I must
have been missing something. However, I did some tests and, sure enough,
I can open a socket and it will see IPv6 multicast packets come in, then
the packets will stop coming in when I turn on IFF_ALLMULTI on the
interface.
In my tests, this change works more like I'd expect; I can open a
socket, and it doesn't see any multicast packets (unless I join a group
or something) until after I turn on IFF_ALLMULTI.
