ipv6: ioam: add NULL check for idev in ipv6_hop_ioam()

Browse source

Reported by Sashiko:

The function ipv6_hop_ioam() accesses
__in6_dev_get(skb->dev)->cnf.ioam6_enabled without validating the returned
idev pointer. Because addrconf_ifdown() can concurrently clear dev->ip6_ptr
via RCU, __in6_dev_get() can return NULL during interface teardown, which
could cause a NULL pointer dereference when processing an IOAM Hop-by-Hop
option.

Let's add a check and use SKB_DROP_REASON_IPV6DISABLED accordingly.
