+Origin: https://git.kernel.org/linus/94f9cd81436c85d8c3a318ba92e236ede73752fc

+Commit 8b13eddfdf04cbfa561725cfc42d6868fe896f56 ("netfilter: refactor NAT
+redirect IPv4 to use it from nf_tables") has introduced a trivial logic
+change which can result in the following crash.

+			newdst = ifa->ifa_local; <---
+		}
+		rcu_read_unlock();
+...
+}
+
+Before the commit, 'ifa' had been always checked before access. After the
+commit, however, it could be accessed even if it's NULL. Interestingly,
+this was once fixed in 2003.

+
+In addition to the original one, we have seen the crash when packets that
+need to be redirected somehow arrive on an interface which hasn't been
+yet fully configured.
+
+This change just reverts the logic to the old behavior to avoid the crash.
