[PATCH v2 net-next] ipv6: mcast: Add ip6_mc_find_idev() helper

[PATCH v2 net-next] ipv6: mcast: Add ip6_mc_find_idev() helper

[Yue Haibing]

Extract the same code logic from __ipv6_sock_mc_join() and
ip6_mc_find_dev(), also add new helper ip6_mc_find_idev() to
reduce redundancy and enhance readability.

No functional changes intended.
