Subject[074/205] ipv6: fix NULL reference in proxy neighbor discovery
2.6.34-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: stephen hemminger <shemminger@vyatta.com>

commit 9f888160bdcccf0565dd2774956b8d9456e610be upstream.

The addition of TLLAO option created a kernel OOPS regression
for the case where neighbor advertisement is being sent via
proxy path. When using proxy, ipv6_get_ifaddr() returns NULL
causing the NULL dereference.

Change causing the bug was:
commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50
Author: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com>
Date: Fri Oct 2 11:39:15 2009 +0000

make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable
