Subject: [PATCH net-next] ipv6: Initialize the neighbour pointer of
 rt6_info on allocation

git commit 97cac082 (ipv6: Store route neighbour in rt6_info struct)
added a neighbour pointer to rt6_info. Currently we don't initialize
this pointer at allocation time. We assume this pointer to be valid
if it is not a null pointer, so initialize it on allocation.
