It was caused by the lookup function __ip6_route_redirect() returns NULL in
fib6_rule_lookup() when ip6_create_rt_rcu() returns NULL.
So we fix it by simply making ip6_create_rt_rcu() return ip6_null_entry
instead of NULL.
v1->v2:
- move down 'fallback:' to make it more readable.
Fixes: e873e4b9cc7e ("ipv6: use fib6_info_hold_safe() when necessary")
