What

This commit fixes the conversion of binary IPv6 address into the human-readable string using inet_ntop.

Why ?

In our testing environment, the debug output of MLX5 TL prints garbage IPv6 addresses during the multicast initialization/teardown phase.

How ?

Pass sin6_addr field of type struct in6_addr that is the part of the sockaddr_in6 structure, as specified in https://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man3/inet_ntop.3.html
