ipv4: ping: fix bind address validity check
Commit 8ff978b8b222 ("ipv4/raw: support binding to nonlocal addresses")
introduced a helper function to fold duplicated validity checks of bind
addresses into inet_addr_valid_or_nonlocal(). However, this caused an
unintended regression in ping_check_bind_addr(), which previously would
reject binding to multicast and broadcast addresses, but now these are
both incorrectly allowed as reported in [1].
This patch restores the original check. A simple reordering is done to
improve readability and make it evident that multicast and broadcast
addresses should not be allowed. Also, add an early exit for INADDR_ANY
which replaces lost behavior added by commit 0ce779a9f501 ("net: Avoid
unnecessary inet_addr_type() call when addr is INADDR_ANY").
Furthermore, this patch introduces regression selftests to catch these
specific cases.
