Subject: [PATCH net 3/3] net: rtnl: return early from rtnl_unregister_all when protocol isn't registered

rtnl_unregister_all(PF_INET6) gets called from inet6_init in cases when
no handler has been registered for PF_INET6 yet, for example if
ip6_mr_init() fails. Abort and avoid a NULL pointer deref in that case.

Example of panic (triggered by faking a failure of
 register_pernet_subsys):

    general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
    [...]
    RIP: 0010:rtnl_unregister_all+0x17e/0x2a0
    [...]
    Call Trace:
     ? rtnetlink_net_init+0x250/0x250
     ? sock_unregister+0x103/0x160
     ? kernel_getsockopt+0x200/0x200
     inet6_init+0x197/0x20d

Fixes: e2fddf5e96df ("[IPV6]: Make af_inet6 to check ip6_route_init return value.")
