Ricardo B. Marlière d56b5d1634 bpf: bpf_out_neigh_v6: Fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called which
initializes it. If bpf_redirect_neigh() is called with explicit AF_INET6
nexthop parameters, __bpf_redirect_neigh_v6() can skip the IPv6 FIB lookup
and call bpf_out_neigh_v6() directly. bpf_out_neigh_v6() then calls
ip_neigh_gw6(), which uses ipv6_stub->nd_tbl.

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000248

Fix this by adding an early check in bpf_out_neigh_v6(). If IPv6 is
disabled, drop the packet before neighbor lookup.
