ipv4: Fix NULL pointer dereference in ipv4_neigh_lookup()



Both ip_neigh_gw4() and ip_neigh_gw6() can return either a valid pointer
or an error pointer, but the code currently checks that the pointer is
not NULL.

Fix this by checking that the pointer is not an error pointer, as this
can result in a NULL pointer dereference [1]. Specifically, I believe
that what happened is that ip_neigh_gw4() returned '-EINVAL'
(0xffffffffffffffea) to which the offset of 'refcnt' (0x70) was added,
which resulted in the address 0x000000000000005a.
