As in f7174eb2b4c4 ("netinet: Do not forward or ICMP response to
INADDR_ANY"), the IPv6 stack should avoid sending packets to the
unspecified address. In particular:
- Make sure that we do not forward received packets to the unspecified address; the check in ip6_input() catches this in the common case, but after commit 40faf87894ff it's possible for a pfil hook to bypass this check and pass the packet to ip6_forward() using the PACKET_TAG_IPFORWARD tag.
- Make sure that we do not reflect packets back to the unspecified address; RFC 4443 section 2.4 states that we must not generate error messages in response to packets from the unspecified address.
