Subject: ipv6: fix return value check in fib6_add()
From: Wei Yongjun <[email protected]>
[ Upstream commit f950c0ecc78f745e490d615280e031de4dbb1306 ]
In case of error, the function fib6_add_1() returns ERR_PTR()
or NULL pointer. The ERR_PTR() case check is missing in fib6_add().
dpatch engine is used to generated this patch.
