Wei Wang 8d1040e808 ipv6: check fn->leaf before it is used
If rwlock is replaced with rcu and spinlock, it is possible that the
reader thread will see fn->leaf as NULL in the following scenarios:
1. fib6_add() is in progress and we have already inserted a new node but
not yet inserted the route.
2. fib6_del_route() is in progress and we have already set fn->leaf to
NULL but not yet freed the node because of rcu grace period.

This patch makes sure all the reader threads check fn->leaf first before
using it. And together with later patch to grab rcu_read_lock() and
rcu_dereference() fn->leaf, it makes sure reader threads are safe when
accessing fn->leaf.

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

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.
