xfrm: fix a NULL-ptr deref in xfrm_local_error



This patch is to fix a crash:

  [ ] kasan: GPF could be caused by NULL-ptr deref or user memory access
  [ ] general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP KASAN PTI
  [ ] RIP: 0010:ipv6_local_error+0xac/0x7a0
  [ ] Call Trace:
  [ ]  xfrm6_local_error+0x1eb/0x300
  [ ]  xfrm_local_error+0x95/0x130

  [ ]  sock_sendmsg+0xc0/0x110

This occurred when sending a v4 skb over vxlan6 over ipsec, in which case
skb->protocol == htons(ETH_P_IPV6) while skb->sk->sk_family == AF_INET in
xfrm_local_error(). Then it will go to xfrm6_local_error() where it tries
to get ipv6 info from a ipv4 sk.

This issue was actually fixed by Commit 628e341f ("xfrm: make local
error reporting more robust"), but brought back by Commit 844d4874
("xfrm: choose protocol family by skb protocol").

So to fix it, we should call xfrm6_local_error() only when skb->protocol
is htons(ETH_P_IPV6) and skb->sk->sk_family is AF_INET6.

Fixes: 844d4874 ("xfrm: choose protocol family by skb protocol")
