netfilter: nft_fib_netdev: Terminate rule eval if protocol=IPv6 and ipv6 module is disabled
If IPv6 is disabled on boot (ipv6.disable=1), but nft_fib_inet ends up
dealing with a IPv6 packet, it causes a kernel panic in
fib6_node_lookup_1(), crashing in bad_page_fault.
The panic is caused by trying to deference a very low address (0x38
in ppc64le), due to ipv6.fib6_main_tbl = NULL.
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038
The kernel panic was reproduced in a host that disabled IPv6 on boot and
have to process guest packets (coming from a bridge) using it's ip6tables.
Terminate rule evaluation when packet protocol is IPv6 but the ipv6 module
is not loaded.
