3.5-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_...@trendmicro.com.cn> [ Upstream commit f950c0ecc78f745e490d615280e031de4dbb1306 ] In case of error, the function fib6_add_1() returns ERR_PTR() or NULL pointer. The ERR_PTR() case check is missing in fib6_add(). dpatch engine is used to generated this patch.
