Subject: [PATCH net 2/8] netfilter: nft_exthdr: check for IPv6 packet before further processing

ipv6_find_hdr() does not validate that this is an IPv6 packet. Add a
sanity check for calling ipv6_find_hdr() to make sure an IPv6 packet
is passed for parsing.

Fixes: 96518518cc41 ("netfilter: add nftables")
