David S. Miller 14deae4156 ipv6: Fix sporadic sendmsg -EINVAL when sending to multicast groups.
Thanks to excellent diagnosis by Eduard Guzovsky.

The core problem is that on a network with lots of active
multicast traffic, the neighbour cache can fill up.  If
we try to allocate a new route and thus neighbour cache
entry, the bog-standard GC attempt the neighbour layer does
in ineffective because route entries hold a reference
to the existing neighbour entries and GC can only liberate
entries with no references.

IPV4 already has a way to handle this, by doing a route cache
GC in such situations (when neigh attach returns -ENOBUFS).

So simply mimick this on the ipv6 side.
