Xin Long 1c87e79a00 ipv6: make ip6_create_rt_rcu return ip6_null_entry instead of NULL
Jianlin reported a crash:

  [  381.484332] BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000068
  [  381.619802] RIP: 0010:fib6_rule_lookup+0xa3/0x160

  [  382.166097]  ipv6_rcv+0x378/0x4e0

It was caused by the lookup function __ip6_route_redirect() returns NULL in
fib6_rule_lookup() when ip6_create_rt_rcu() returns NULL.

So we fix it by simply making ip6_create_rt_rcu() return ip6_null_entry
instead of NULL.

v1->v2:
  - move down 'fallback:' to make it more readable.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
