[PATCH net] ipv4/fib: don't warn when primary address is missing if in_dev is dead

From: Paolo Abeni
Date: Thu Apr 21 2016 - 16:25:12 EST


After commit fbd40ea0180a ("ipv4: Don't do expensive useless work
during inetdev destroy.") when deleting an interface,
fib_del_ifaddr() can be executed without any primary address
present on the dead interface.

The above is safe, but triggers some "bug: prim == NULL" warnings.

This commit avoids warning if the in_dev is dead
