ipv6: route: Fix return value of ip6_neigh_lookup() on neigh_create() error
In ip6_neigh_lookup(), we must not return errors coming from neigh_create(): if creation of a neighbour entry fails, the lookup should return NULL, in the same way as it's done in __neigh_lookup(). Otherwise, callers legitimately checking for a non-NULL return value of the lookup function might dereference an invalid pointer. For instance, on neighbour table overflow, ndisc_router_discovery() crashes ndisc_update() by passing ERR_PTR(-ENOBUFS) as 'neigh' argument.
