net/ipv6: Add anycast addresses to a global hashtable
icmp6_send() function is expensive on systems with a large number of interfaces. Every time it’s called, it has to verify that the source address does not correspond to an existing anycast address by looping through every device and every anycast address on the device. This can result in significant delays for a CPU when there are a large number of neighbors and ND timers are frequently timing out and calling neigh_invalidate(). Add anycast addresses to a global hashtable to allow quick searching for matching anycast addresses. This is based on inet6_addr_lst in addrconf.c.
