Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] fib6_rules: make error handling consistent with IPv4

(by Hannes Frederic Sowa <hannes@...essinduktion.org>)

This compile-only-tested patch would make the error reporting consistent
with its ipv4 counterpart. arg->result should only be NULL iff the
function returns -EAGAIN. So we are clean here.

(It seems this patch also fixes a potential nullptr dereference.)
