Babel: Log the reason when refusing to run on an interface

The babel protocol code checks whether iface supports multicast, and
whether it has a link-local address assigned. However, it doesn not give
any feedback if any of those checks fail, it just silently ignores the
interface. Fix this by explicitly logging when multicast check fails.

Based on patch from Toke Høiland-Jørgensen, thanks!
