Subject: net: ipv6: raw: fixes null pointer deference in
 rawv6_push_pending_frames

The local variable csum_skb is initialized to NULL. It is posible that the skb_queue_walkloop
does not assign csum_skb to a real skb. After the loop, skb will be set to csum_skb, which
means skb is set to NULL. Then when the skb is used later, null pointer deference bug happens.
This patch catches the case and avoids the oops.
