Hangbin Liu b7f14132bf bonding: use unspecified address if no available link local address
When ns_ip6_target was set, the ipv6_dev_get_saddr() will be called to get
available source address and send IPv6 neighbor solicit message.

If the target is global address, ipv6_dev_get_saddr() will get any
available src address. But if the target is link local address,
ipv6_dev_get_saddr() will only get available address from our interface,
i.e. the corresponding bond interface.

But before bond interface up, all the address is tentative, while
ipv6_dev_get_saddr() will ignore tentative address. This makes we can't
find available link local src address, then bond_ns_send() will not be
called and no NS message was sent. Finally bond interface will keep in
down state.

Fix this by sending NS with unspecified address if there is no available
source address.

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.
