Maybe like this:

        fl.oif = 0;

	if (ipv6_addr_type(&src_in->sin6_addr) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL) {
	    if (!src_in->sin6_scope_id)
                return -EINVAL;
            fl.oif = src_in->sin6scope_id;
        }
	if (ipv6_addr_type(&dst_in->sin6_addr) & IPV6_ADDR_LINKLOCAL){
                if (dst_in.sin6_scope_id) {
                        if (fl.oif && fl.oif != dst_in.sin6_scope_id)
			        return -EINVAL;
                        fl.oif = dst_in.sin6_scope_id;
                }
                if (!fl.oif)
			return -EINVAL;
	}


src and dest have to be tested seperately, the TCPv6 versions don't
require them to be both link local.

Don't forget to run checkpatch ;)
