[PATCH 1/1] netfilter: nf_tables: fib: Drop IPV6 packages if IPv6 is disabled on boot

[Leonardo Bras]

If IPv6 is disabled on boot (ipv6.disable=1), but nft_fib_inet ends up
dealing with a IPv6 package, it causes a kernel panic in
fib6_node_lookup_1(), crashing in bad_page_fault.

The panic is caused by trying to deference a very low address (0x38
in ppc64le), due to ipv6.fib6_main_tbl = NULL.
BUG: Kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0x00000038

Fix this behavior by dropping IPv6 packages if !ipv6_mod_enabled().
