The addition of TLLAO option created a kernel OOPS regression
for the case where neighbor advertisement is being sent via
proxy path.  When using proxy, ipv6_get_ifaddr() returns NULL
causing the NULL dereference.

Change causing the bug was:
commit f7734fdf61ec6bb848e0bafc1fb8bad2c124bb50
Author: Octavian Purdila <opurdila@ixiacom.com>

    make TLLAO option for NA packets configurable
