Subject: [PATCH net] ieee802154: 6lowpan: fix possible NULL deref in
 lowpan_device_event()

From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@...gle.com>

A tun device type can trivially be set to arbitrary value using
TUNSETLINK ioctl().

Therefore, lowpan_device_event() must really check that ieee802154_ptr
is not NULL.
