[ Upstream commit 06413793526251870e20402c39930804f14d59c0 ]
__in6_dev_get() can return NULL when the device has no IPv6 configuration
(e.g. MTU < IPV6_MIN_MTU or after NETDEV_UNREGISTER).
Add NULL checks for idev returned by __in6_dev_get() in both
seg6_hmac_validate_skb() and ipv6_srh_rcv() to prevent potential NULL
pointer dereferences.
Fixes: 1ababeba4a21 ("ipv6: implement dataplane support for rthdr type 4 (Segment Routing Header)")
Fixes: bf355b8d2c30 ("ipv6: sr: add core files for SR HMAC support")
