Ido Schimmel 76dd072813 ipv6: Fix crash when IPv6 is administratively disabled
The global 'raw_v6_hashinfo' variable can be accessed even when IPv6 is
administratively disabled via the 'ipv6.disable=1' kernel command line
option, leading to a crash [1].

Fix by restoring the original behavior and always initializing the
variable, regardless of IPv6 support being administratively disabled or
not.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
