ipv4: ping: fix bind address validity check
Commit 8ff978b8 ("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 0ce779a9 ("net: Avoid unnecessary inet_addr_type() call when addr is INADDR_ANY"). Furthermore, this patch introduces regression selftests to catch these specific cases.
