[PATCH net v3] ipv6: rpl: fix NULL dereference of idev in ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv()

[Andrea Mayer <andrea.mayer@uniroma2.it>]

ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv() dereferences idev from __in6_dev_get() without a NULL
check when reading idev->cnf.rpl_seg_enabled.

When the device's MTU drops below IPV6_MIN_MTU, addrconf_ifdown() clears
dev->ip6_ptr through RCU_INIT_POINTER(). A packet that passed the idev
check in ip6_rcv_core() can then reach ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv() with
dev->ip6_ptr already NULL.

Reproduced by flooding the receiving interface with ping6 traffic while
flapping its MTU between 1500 and 1200:

  </IRQ>

Both ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv() and ipv6_srh_rcv() are called only from
ipv6_rthdr_rcv(), which already has an idev lookup.

Fix the NULL dereference on the RPL path by checking idev in
ipv6_rthdr_rcv(), before it calls either function. The callees take idev as
an argument and no longer call __in6_dev_get(), so the packet is now
dropped in one place, with SKB_DROP_REASON_IPV6DISABLED on both paths.

v3:
  - move the idev NULL check into ipv6_rthdr_rcv() and use the same drop
    reason on the seg6 and RPL paths (David Ahern)
  - pass idev to ipv6_srh_rcv() and ipv6_rpl_srh_rcv(), and check it for
    NULL in ipv6_rthdr_rcv() only for the seg6 and RPL types
  - add Xiang Mei's Tested-by tag
v2: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260518140630.24280-1-andrea.mayer@uniroma2.it/
  - use SKB_DROP_REASON_IPV6DISABLED as drop reason (Eric Dumazet)
v1: https://lore.kernel.org/netdev/20260428224816.11223-1-andrea.mayer@uniroma2.it/
