[ Upstream commit 8244f959e2c125c849e569f5b23ed49804cce695 ]

syzbot reported out-of-bound read in fib6_add_rt2node(). [0]

When IPv6 route is created with RTA_NH_ID, struct fib6_info
does not have the trailing struct fib6_nh.

The cited commit started to check !iter->fib6_nh->fib_nh_gw_family
to ensure that rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() will return false for iter.

If iter->nh is not NULL, rt6_qualify_for_ecmp() returns false anyway.

Let's check iter->nh before reading iter->fib6_nh and avoid OOB read.
