Subject: [PATCH v3] netlabel: Fix NULL pointer exception caused by CALIPSO on IPv4 sockets

When calling netlbl_conn_setattr(), addr->sa_family is used
to determine the function behavior. If sk is an IPv4 socket,
but the connect function is called with an IPv6 address,
the function calipso_sock_setattr() is triggered.
Inside this function, the following code is executed:

sk_fullsock(__sk) ? inet_sk(__sk)->pinet6 : NULL;

Since sk is an IPv4 socket, pinet6 is NULL, leading to a
null pointer dereference.

This patch fixes the issue by checking if inet6_sk(sk)
returns a NULL pointer before accessing pinet6.

Fixes: ceba1832b1b2("calipso: Set the calipso socket label to match the secattr.")
