[PATCH net-next v2] net/ipv6: silence 'passing zero to ERR_PTR()' warning

From: Haoyi Liu
Date: Thu Apr 13 2023 - 06:24:54 EST


Smatch complains that if xfrm_lookup() returns NULL then this does a
weird thing with "err":

net/ ipv6/ icmp.c:411 icmpv6_route_lookup()
warn: passing zero to ERR_PTR()

Merge conditional paths and remove unnecessary 'else'. No functional
change.
