geneve: should not call rt6_lookup() when ipv6 was disabled
When we add a new GENEVE device with IPv6 remote, checking only for IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) is not enough as we may disable IPv6 in the kernel command line (ipv6.disable=1), and calling rt6_lookup() would cause a NULL pointer dereference. v2: - don't mix declarations and code (reported by Stefano Brivio, Eric Dumazet) - there's no need to use in6_dev_get() as we only need to check that idev exists (reported by David Ahern). This is under RTNL, so we can simply use __in6_dev_get() instead (Stefano, Eric).

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.
