Bug#850064: /boot/vmlinuz-4.8.0-2-amd64: kernel NULL pointer dereference in icmp6_send related to bridge port link changes

OK, this looks like a known v4.8 stable regression, caused by the backport of commit 5d41ce29e3b9 ("net: icmp6_send should use dst dev to determine L3 domain") introduced in v4.8.10. Should be fixed by commit 79dc7e3f1cd3 ("net: handle no dst on skb in icmp6_send") as soon as Debian moves to v4.9
