Subject: [PATCH 2.6.32 49/62] NET: ROSE: Dont dereference NULL neighbour pointer.

2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Ralf Baechle <ralf@...ux-mips.org>

commit d496f7842aada20c61e6044b3395383fa972872c upstream.

A ROSE socket doesn't necessarily always have a neighbour pointer so check
if the neighbour pointer is valid before dereferencing it.
