Subject: [PATCH net] ipv6: make ip6_create_rt_rcu return ip6_null_entry instead of NULL

Jianlin reported a crash:

  [  381.484332] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000068
  [  381.619802] RIP: 0010:fib6_rule_lookup+0xa3/0x160

  [  382.166097]  ipv6_rcv+0x378/0x4e0

It was caused by the lookup function __ip6_route_redirect() returns NULL in
fib6_rule_lookup() when ip6_create_rt_rcu() returns NULL.

So we fix it by simply making ip6_create_rt_rcu() return ip6_null_entry
instead of NULL.

Fixes: e873e4b9cc7e ("ipv6: use fib6_info_hold_safe() when necessary")
