getsockname() is reporting wrong local addresses on connected UDP6 sockets
Issue
A datagram socket is created and bound to ::ffff:0.0.0.0. After a remote address is connected, calls to getsockname() should return the ip address from which the connection is initiated. On RHEL 6 this getsockname() call mistakenly returns ::ffff:0.0.0.0.
