poib: assign link-local address according to RFC

Browse Source 
RFC 4391 specifies that the IB interface GID should be re-used as IPv6
link-local address.  Since the code in in6_get_hw_ifid() ignored
IFT_INFINIBAND case, ibX interfaces ended up with the local address
borrowed from some other interface, which is non-compliant.

Use lowest eight bytes from GID for filling the link-local address,
same as Linux.
