I think it's better to use a helper routine like ipv6_get_saddr to make
sure that both dst and rt6i_idev arguments are checked for NULL.
I have compiled, and tested the patch.

Fix NULL pointer dereference in rt6_fill_node().
# ip -f inet6 route get fec0::1
BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 00000000
IP: [<c0369b85>] rt6_fill_node+0x175/0x3b0
EIP is at rt6_fill_node+0x175/0x3b0

But Yoshfuji might have another opinion since he did the work to remove
ipv6_get_saddr() in the first place.
