Details:

A small issue that I spotted during the scopes work. I don't think the bug
affected many real use cases, but still.

===

As documented in the function description, if ip6_output_if() is given the
unspecified ('any') IPv6 address, it should select a source address on behalf
of the caller and use that to send the packet. This feature was previously
broken, as an address was selected but not used to send the packet. This patch
fixes the bug.
