In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:
net: vxlan: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called
which initializes it. If an IPv6 packet is injected into the interface,
route_shortcircuit() is called and a NULL pointer dereference happens on
neigh_lookup().

Fix this by adding an early check on route_shortcircuit() when protocol
is ETH_P_IPV6. Note that ipv6_mod_enabled() cannot be used here because
VXLAN can be built-in even when IPv6 is built as a module.
