bpf: bpf_out_neigh_v4: Fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled
When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called which
initializes it. If bpf_redirect_neigh() is called from tc with an explicit
nexthop of nh_family == AF_INET6, bpf_out_neigh_v4() takes the AF_INET6
branch and calls ip_neigh_gw6(), which relies on ipv6_stub->nd_tbl.

Fix this by adding an early check in the AF_INET6 branch of
bpf_out_neigh_v4(). If IPv6 is disabled, unlock RCU and drop the packet.
