Summary

use ND_NA_FLAG_ROUTER flag in carp_send_na() when we work as router
use in6addr_any as destination address for nd6_na_output(), then it will use ipv6-all-nodes multicast address.
add in6_selectsrc_nbr() function that accepts additional argument ip6_moptions. Use this function from ND6 code to avoid cases when nd6_na_output/nd6_ns_output can not find source address for multicast destinations:

kernel: carp: 83@vlan524: BACKUP -> MASTER (master will time out)
kernel: nd6_na_output: source can't be determined: dst=ff02::1, error=51

add some comments from RFC2461 for better understanding.
use tlladdr argument as flags and use ND6_NA_OPT_LLA when we need to add target link-layer address option, and ND6_NA_CARP_MASTER when we know that target address is CARP master. Then we can call carp_macmatch6() if target address is CARP master and ND6 NA packet will have correct mac address.
move blocks of code where multicast options is initialized and use it when destination address is multicast. Thus we can set M_MCAST flag and prepare ip6_moptions for correct IPv6 source address selection.
