Note, with CONFIG_IPV6=n, inet6_sk() is just NULL and compiler
could eliminate the if(NULL) branch, I doubt compiler could do same
for sk->sk_family.

Oh, BTW, I thought it is okay to use sk_v6_daddr in if (NULL)
case (aka CONFIG_IPV6=n), but a quick test shows compiler still
complains... so probably need #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6).
