When IPv6 module gets initialized but hits an error in the middle,
kenel panic with:

KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000598-0x000000000000059f]

Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception

When ipv6 initialization fails, it will try to cleanup and calls:

neigh_table_clear()
  neigh_ifdown(tbl, NULL)
    pneigh_queue_purge(&tbl->proxy_queue, dev_net(dev == NULL))
    # dev_net(NULL) triggers null-ptr-deref.

Fix it by passing NULL to pneigh_queue_purge() in neigh_ifdown() if dev
is NULL, to make kernel not panic immediately.
