ipv6: Fix neigh lookup using NULL device.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
In some of the rt6_bind_neighbour() call sites, it hasn't hooked
up the rt->dst.dev pointer yet, so we'd deref a NULL pointer when
obtaining dev->ifindex for the neighbour hash function computation.

Just pass the netdevice explicitly in to fix this problem.
