Hi Pablo,

please consider this fix for v3.18.

It fixes a null-pointer dereference that may occur when logging
errors.

This problem was introduced by 4a4739d56b0 ("ipvs: Pull out
crosses_local_route_boundary logic") in v3.17-rc5. As such I would
also like it considered for 3.17-stable.

Regarding your request to pass this to 3.17-stable. According to git
am and my scripts:

3d53666 ipvs: Avoid null-pointer deref in debug code

doesn't apply cleanly 3.17.x. Please re-check and send me a backport if
you want to see this in 3.17.x. Let me know, sorry.

Sorry for creating some confusion here and sorry for not
cleaning it up earlier.

On further inspection I believe that 4a4739d56b0 was included
in v3.18-rc1 rather than v3.17. So this fix is not relevant to
v3.17 after all.
