Hmm. That may fix the compile failure, but it looks somewhat broken to me.

Other cases of nf_defrag_ipv6_disable() end up being protected by

   #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_NF_TABLES_IPV6)

at the use-point, not by just assuming it always exists even when
CONFIG_NF_TABLES_IPV6 is off.

So I think the proper fix is something along the lines of

  --- a/net/netfilter/xt_socket.c
  +++ b/net/netfilter/xt_socket.c
  @@ -220,8 +220,10 @@ static void socket_mt_destroy(const struct
xt_mtdtor_param *par)
   {
        if (par->family == NFPROTO_IPV4)
                nf_defrag_ipv4_disable(par->net);
  +#if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IP6_NF_IPTABLES)
        else if (par->family == NFPROTO_IPV6)
                nf_defrag_ipv6_disable(par->net);
  +#endif
   }

instead. Entirely untested, because that's how I roll, but I suspect
the netfilter people will know what to do.

Added guilty parties and mailing list to the participants.
