Subject: [PATCH] net: geneve: Fix a possible null-pointer dereference in geneve_link_config()

In geneve_link_config(), there is an if statement on line 1524 to check
whether rt is NULL:
    if (rt && rt->dst.dev)

When rt is NULL, it is used on line 1526:
    ip6_rt_put(rt)
        dst_release(&rt->dst);

Thus, a possible null-pointer dereference may occur.

To fix this bug, ip6_rt_put(rt) is called when rt is not NULL.

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