From: Ido Schimmel <idosch@xxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 76dd07281338da6951fdab3432ced843fa87839c ] The global 'raw_v6_hashinfo' variable can be accessed even when IPv6 is administratively disabled via the 'ipv6.disable=1' kernel command line option, leading to a crash [1]. Fix by restoring the original behavior and always initializing the variable, regardless of IPv6 support being administratively disabled or not.
