Subject: [PATCH] ipv6: fix unappropriate errno returned for non-multicast address

From: Li Wei <[email-masked]>
Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2012 15:28:59 +0800

We need to check the passed in multicast address and return
appropriate errno(EINVAL) if it is not valid. And it's no need
to walk through the ipv6_mc_list in this situation.
