Subject: [PATCH 1/2] net: ipv4: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in inet_csk_rebuild_route()

In inet_csk_rebuild_route(), rt is assigned to NULL on line 1071.
On line 1076, rt is used:
    return &rt->dst;
Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, rt is checked before being used.

This bug is found by a static analysis tool STCheck written by us.
