yes, but I think that it is not enough, ip[6]mr_mfc_add() is only called via 
setsockopt().

When a multicast packet arrived in ip6_mr_input(), if there is no cache 
ip6mr_cache_unresolved() will be called and this function will add an entry with 
parent == 65535.

And the second problem is that when a vif is removed, no cleanup is made in 
cache entry. Hence, we can have a cache entry which points to an invalid vif 
(dev is set ot NULL).

Regards,
Nicolas
