Subject: [PATCH 0430/1160] resolve: skip IP_UNICAST_IF for local sockets
SO_BINDTODEVICE was used during connect() to fix an issue where
IP_UNICAST_IF was improperly ignored for route lookups made by connect
in linux. This has since been resolved upstream [1][2], but as a result
we must apply the local socket excpetion to IP_UNICAST_IF as well.
The SO_BINDTODEVICE is no longer necessary, but left in place for 5.x
kernels.
