[ Upstream commit 29c95185ba32b621fbc3800fb86e7dc3edf5c2be ]

syzbot reported a panic [1] [2].

When an IPv6 nexthop is replaced with an IPv4 nexthop, the has_v4 flag
of all groups containing this nexthop is not updated. This is because
nh_group_v4_update is only called when replacing AF_INET to AF_INET6,
but the reverse direction (AF_INET6 to AF_INET) is missed.

This allows a stale has_v4=false to bypass fib6_check_nexthop, causing
IPv6 routes to be attached to groups that effectively contain only AF_INET
members. Subsequent route lookups then call nexthop_fib6_nh() which
returns NULL for the AF_INET member, leading to a NULL pointer
dereference.

Fix by calling nh_group_v4_update whenever the family changes, not just
AF_INET to AF_INET6.

Reproducer:
	# AF_INET6 blackhole
	ip -6 nexthop add id 1 blackhole
	# group with has_v4=false
	ip nexthop add id 100 group 1
	# replace with AF_INET (no -6), has_v4 stays false
	ip nexthop replace id 1 blackhole
	# pass stale has_v4 check
	ip -6 route add 2001:db8::/64 nhid 100
	# panic
	ping -6 2001:db8::1
