Subject: [PATCH 2/3] netfilter: nf_nat_redirect: add missing NULL pointer check

From: Munehisa Kamata <kamatam@...zon.com>

Commit 8b13eddfdf04cbfa561725cfc42d6868fe896f56 ("netfilter: refactor NAT
redirect IPv4 to use it from nf_tables") has introduced a trivial logic
change which can result in the following crash.

		}
		rcu_read_unlock();
...
}

Before the commit, 'ifa' had been always checked before access. After the
commit, however, it could be accessed even if it's NULL. Interestingly,
this was once fixed in 2003.

http://marc.info/?l=netfilter-devel&m=106668497403047&w=2

In addition to the original one, we have seen the crash when packets that
need to be redirected somehow arrive on an interface which hasn't been
yet fully configured.

This change just reverts the logic to the old behavior to avoid the crash.
