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.
Fixes: 81f6cb3122 ("ipv6: add ipv6_dev_find()")

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
