[SRU][F/J/L][PATCH 1/1] ipv4: fix null-deref in ipv4_link_failure

From: Kyle Zeng <zengyhkyle at gmail.com>

Currently, we assume the skb is associated with a device before calling
__ip_options_compile, which is not always the case if it is re-routed by
ipvs.
When skb->dev is NULL, dev_net(skb->dev) will become null-dereference.
This patch adds a check for the edge case and switch to use the net_device
from the rtable when skb->dev is NULL.

Fixes: ed0de45a1008 ("ipv4: recompile ip options in ipv4_link_failure")
