interface: fix IPv6 parsing of interfaces with large indexes (> 255)

patch from Dave Johnson <djohnson@sw.starentnetworks.com> via Debian #433543

When running 'ifconfig' it will not show any IPv6 addresses for
interfaces that have an ifindex > 255.

Because the kernel will increment the ifindex every time an interface
is added or removed, it is not necessary to have 256 interfaces at
once, just creating 256 interfaces since system boot and they will no
longer show IPv6 addresses.

This is due to an improper fscanf() maximum range argument.  Patch to
fix the problem is below.

Example:

st34:~# ip addr list dev eth1.110
268: eth1.110@eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue
    link/ether 00:e0:81:2a:0d:2d brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    inet6 fd4d:5643:2886:6e::ea:0/64 scope global
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 fe80::2e0:81ff:fe2a:d2d/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
st34:~# ifconfig eth1.110
eth1.110  Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:E0:81:2A:0D:2D
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
