commit0bbbf0e7d0("ipmr, ip6mr: Unite creation of new mr_table") refactored ipmr_new_table, so that it now returns NULL when mr_table_alloc fails. Unfortunately, all callers of ipmr_new_table expect an ERR_PTR. This can result in NULL deref, for example when ipmr_rules_exit calls ipmr_free_table with NULL net->ipv4.mrt in the !CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_MULTIPLE_TABLES version. This patch makes mr_table_alloc return errors, and changes ip6mr_new_table and its callers to return/expect error pointers as well. It also removes the version of mr_table_alloc defined under !CONFIG_IP_MROUTE_COMMON, since it is never used.

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.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.
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.
