From: "Maciej Żenczykowski" <maze@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 8652f17c658d03f5c87b8dee6e8e52480c6cd37d ] Fixes a stupid bug I recently introduced... ip6_route_info_create() returns an ERR_PTR(err) and not a NULL on error. Fixes: d55a2e374a94 ("net-ipv6: fix excessive RTF_ADDRCONF flag on ::1/128 local route (and others)'") Cc: David Ahern <dsahern@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Lorenzo Colitti <lorenzo@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Maciej Żenczykowski <maze@xxxxxxxxxx> Reported-by: syzbot <syzkaller@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
