From: Eric Dumazet <edumazet@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 843d926b003ea692468c8cc5bea1f9f58dfa8c75 ] syzbot reported twice a lockdep issue in fib6_del() [1] which I think is caused by net->ipv6.fib6_null_entry having a NULL fib6_table pointer. fib6_del() already checks for fib6_null_entry special case, we only need to return earlier. Bug seems to occur very rarely, I have thus chosen a 'bug origin' that makes backports not too complex.
