sctp: fix src address selection if using secondary addresses for ipv6

Commit 0ca50d12fe46 ("sctp: fix src address selection if using secondary
addresses") has fixed a src address selection issue when using secondary
addresses for ipv4.

Now sctp ipv6 also has the similar issue. When using a secondary address,
sctp_v6_get_dst tries to choose the saddr which has the most same bits
with the daddr by sctp_v6_addr_match_len. It may make some cases not work
as expected.

hostA:
  [1] fd21:356b:459a:cf10::11 (eth1)
  [2] fd21:356b:459a:cf20::11 (eth2)

hostB:
  [a] fd21:356b:459a:cf30::2  (eth1)
  [b] fd21:356b:459a:cf40::2  (eth2)

route from hostA to hostB:
  fd21:356b:459a:cf30::/64 dev eth1  metric 1024  mtu 1500

The expected path should be:
  fd21:356b:459a:cf10::11 <-> fd21:356b:459a:cf30::2
But addr[2] matches addr[a] more bits than addr[1] does, according to
sctp_v6_addr_match_len. It causes the path to be:
  fd21:356b:459a:cf20::11 <-> fd21:356b:459a:cf30::2

This patch is to fix it with the same way as Marcelo's fix for sctp ipv4.
As no ip_dev_find for ipv6, this patch is to use ipv6_chk_addr to check
if the saddr is in a dev instead.

Note that for backwards compatibility, it will still do the addr_match_len
check here when no optimal is found.
