    ms/net, neigh: Fix null-ptr-deref in neigh_table_clear()
    
    When IPv6 module gets initialized but hits an error in the middle,
    kenel panic with:
    
    KASAN: null-ptr-deref in range [0x0000000000000598-0x000000000000059f]
    CPU: 1 PID: 361 Comm: insmod

    Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception
    
    When ipv6 initialization fails, it will try to cleanup and calls:
    
    neigh_table_clear()
      neigh_ifdown(tbl, NULL)
        pneigh_queue_purge(&tbl->proxy_queue, dev_net(dev == NULL))
        # dev_net(NULL) triggers null-ptr-deref.
    
    Fix it by passing NULL to pneigh_queue_purge() in neigh_ifdown() if dev
    is NULL, to make kernel not panic immediately.
