ipv6_sockglue: Fix a missing-check bug in ip6_ra_control()
In function ip6_ra_control(), the pointer new_ra is allocated a memory space via kmalloc(). And it is used in the following codes. However, when there is a memory allocation error, kmalloc() fails. Thus null pointer dereference may happen. And it will cause the kernel to crash. Therefore, we should check the return value and handle the error.
