Subject: [ 042/120] ipv6: fix return value check in fib6_add()

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------


From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@...ndmicro.com.cn>

[ Upstream commit f950c0ecc78f745e490d615280e031de4dbb1306 ]

In case of error, the function fib6_add_1() returns ERR_PTR()
or NULL pointer. The ERR_PTR() case check is missing in fib6_add().

dpatch engine is used to generated this patch.
