You can drop this test if you re-arrange the cases in the caller. More below.

You have to use pskb_may_pull here, only the IPv6 header is pulled by the caller
and certain to be in the linear part. Also you have to change one of the callers,
more below.

you can do directly return __alb_determine_nd(hdr) here.

You can drop the IPv6 test in alb_determine_nd() if you re-arrange the cases here.
Something like:
  		case htons(ETH_P_IPV6):
			if (alb_determine_nd(skb, bond))
				break;
			fallthrough;
  		case htons(ETH_P_IP):

You should also use pskb_may_pull to make sure the IPv6 header is in the linear part
and can be accessed.
