3.13.11-ckt24 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Ralf Baechle <ralf at linux-mips.org>

commit d496f7842aada20c61e6044b3395383fa972872c upstream.

A ROSE socket doesn't necessarily always have a neighbour pointer so check
if the neighbour pointer is valid before dereferencing it.
