kernel: ipv6: add NULL checks for idev in SRv6 paths

A flaw was found in the Linux kernel. Missing null pointer checks in the IPv6 Segment Routing SRv6 implementation, specifically within the seg6hmacvalidateskb and ipv6srhrcv functions, can occur when an IPv6 device lacks proper configuration. This oversight may allow an attacker to trigger a null...
