[PATCH dpdk] net: ipv6 link local compliance with rfc 4291

[PATCH dpdk] net: ipv6 link local compliance with rfc 4291

[Robin Jarry]

From: Christophe Fontaine <cfontain@redhat.com>

As specified in RFC 4291 section 2.5.1, link local addresses must be
generated based on a modified EUI-64 interface identifier:

> Modified EUI-64 format interface identifiers are formed by inverting
> the "u" bit (universal/local bit in IEEE EUI-64 terminology) when
> forming the interface identifier from IEEE EUI-64 identifiers.

This translates to 'mac->addr_bytes[0] ^= 0x02'.

Fixes: 3d6d85f58c1c ("net: add utilities for well known IPv6 address types")
