Since patch is trivial, here is the official submission

Thanks !

[PATCH] ipv6: fix icmp6_dst_alloc()

commit 87a115783 ( ipv6: Move xfrm_lookup() call down into
icmp6_dst_alloc().) forgot to convert one error path, leading
to crashes in mld_sendpack()

Many thanks to Dave Jones for providing a very complete bug report.
