Subject: [PATCH] [net/ipv6] ip6_output: Add ipv6_pinfo null check

This PR fixes a possible segmentation violation.

In function: ip6_xmit(), we have
const struct ipv6_pinfo *np = inet6_sk(sk); which returns NULL
unconditionally (regardless sk being  NULL or not).

In include/linux/ipv6.h:

static inline struct ipv6_pinfo * inet6_sk(const struct sock *__sk)
{
    return NULL;
}

Further down the function, there's a check:
if (np) hlimit = hp->htop_limit

Thereafter, we have a call
ip6_flow_hdr(hdr, tclass, ip6_make_flowlabel(net, skb, fl6->flowlabel,
ip6_autoflowlabel(net, np), fl6));

Hence np = NULL gets passed in
the function ip6_autoflowlabel() that accesses np without check which
may cause a segment violation.

Fixes: 513674b5a2c9c ("net: reevalulate autoflowlabel setting after sysctl setting")
