syzbot reported twice a lockdep issue in fib6_del() [1] which I think is caused by net->ipv6.fib6_null_entry having a NULL fib6_table pointer. fib6_del() already checks for fib6_null_entry special case, we only need to return earlier. Bug seems to occur very rarely, I have thus chosen a 'bug origin' that makes backports not too complex.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
