ipv6: ndisc: fix NULL deref in accept_untracked_na()
accept_untracked_na() re-fetches the inet6_dev with __in6_dev_get(dev)
and dereferences idev->cnf.accept_untracked_na without a NULL check,
even though its only caller ndisc_recv_na() already fetched and
NULL-checked idev for the same device.
Both reads of dev->ip6_ptr run in the same RCU read-side critical
section, but a concurrent addrconf_ifdown() can clear dev->ip6_ptr
between them: lowering the MTU below IPV6_MIN_MTU calls addrconf_ifdown()
without the synchronize_net() that orders the unregister path, so the
re-fetch returns NULL and oopses:
BUG: KASAN: null-ptr-deref in ndisc_recv_na (net/ipv6/ndisc.c:974)
Read of size 4 at addr
0000000000000364
Call Trace:
<IRQ>
ndisc_recv_na (net/ipv6/ndisc.c:974)
icmpv6_rcv (net/ipv6/icmp.c:1193)

</IRQ>
It is reachable by an unprivileged user via a network namespace.
Pass the caller's already validated idev instead of re-fetching it; the
idev stays alive for the whole RCU critical section, so it is safe even
after dev->ip6_ptr has been cleared.
