util: Correct sock_l4() binding for link local addresses

Browse source 
When binding an IPv6 socket in sock_l4() we need to supply a scope id
if the address is link-local.  We check for this by comparing the
given address to c->ip6.addr_ll.  This is correct only by accident:
while c->ip6.addr_ll is typically set to the host interface's link
local address, the actual purpose of it is to provide a link local
address for passt's private use on the tap interface.

Instead set the scope id for any link-local address we're binding to.
We're going to need something and this is what makes sense for sockets
on the host.  It doesn't make sense for PIF_SPLICE sockets, but those
should always have loopback, not link-local addresses.
