Subject: net/ping: handle protocol mismatching scenario

commit 91a0b603469069cdcce4d572b7525ffc9fd352a6 upstream.

ping_lookup() may return a wrong sock if sk_buff's and sock's protocols
dont' match. For example, sk_buff's protocol is ETH_P_IPV6, but sock's
sk_family is AF_INET, in that case, if sk->sk_bound_dev_if is zero, a wrong
sock will be returned.
the fix is to "continue" the searching, if no matching, return NULL.
