rtnl_unregister_all(PF_INET6) gets called from inet6_init in cases when
no handler has been registered for PF_INET6 yet, for example if
ip6_mr_init() fails. Abort and avoid a NULL pointer deref in that case.
Example of panic (triggered by faking a failure of
register_pernet_subsys):
general protection fault: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP KASAN PTI
[...]
RIP: 0010:rtnl_unregister_all+0x17e/0x2a0

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.
