Commit8ff978b8b2("ipv4/raw: support binding to nonlocal addresses") introduced a helper function to fold duplicated validity checks of bind addresses into inet_addr_valid_or_nonlocal(). However, this caused an unintended regression in ping_check_bind_addr(), which previously would reject binding to multicast and broadcast addresses, but now these are both incorrectly allowed as reported in [1]. This patch restores the original check. A simple reordering is done to improve readability and make it evident that multicast and broadcast addresses should not be allowed. Also, add an early exit for INADDR_ANY which replaces lost behavior added by commit0ce779a9f5("net: Avoid unnecessary inet_addr_type() call when addr is INADDR_ANY"). Furthermore, this patch introduces regression selftests to catch these specific cases.

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.
