In ndisc_recv_na(), __in6_dev_get() could return NULL, which is a NULL
pointer dereference. Add a check to prevent bailing out.

Fixes: 7a02bf892d8f ("ipv6: add option to drop unsolicited neighbor advertisements")

Please do not mix code and variables.

Also, idev is correctly tested in the current code, therefore your
patch is not needed.

Thank you.
