Subject: [PATCH]: net: ipv6: fix oops in inet_putpeer()

The attached patch fixes an oops in inet_putpeer(). Please see the 
changelog entry for details.

An alternative fix would be to check whether rt6_peer_ptr() returns
NULL before invoking inet_putpeer(), but properly initializing the
peer looks cleaner to me.
