From: Colin Ian King <[email protected]>

The initialisation of pointer ssp is from a dereference on sock->sk
before sock-sk is null checked, hence there is a potential for a
null pointer deference.  Fix this by moving the assignment of ssp
to just before it is used in the call to smk_ipv6_check.

Detected with CoverityScan, CID#1324196 ("Dereference before null check")
