ipv6: fix the outgoing interface selection order in udpv6_sendmsg()

Browse Source 
1.When no interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
  item, the interface specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky optionis 
  is used.

RFC3542:
6.7.  Summary of Outgoing Interface Selection

   This document and [RFC-3493] specify various methods that affect the
   selection of the packet's outgoing interface.  This subsection
   summarizes the ordering among those in order to ensure deterministic
   behavior.

   For a given outgoing packet on a given socket, the outgoing interface
   is determined in the following order:

   1. if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO ancillary data
      item, the interface is used.

   2. otherwise, if an interface is specified in an IPV6_PKTINFO sticky
      option, the interface is used.
