net: bridge: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: bridge: fix nd_tbl NULL dereference when IPv6 is disabled

When booting with the 'ipv6.disable=1' parameter, the nd_tbl is never
initialized because inet6_init() exits before ndisc_init() is called
which initializes it. Then, if neigh_suppress is enabled and an ICMPv6
Neighbor Discovery packet reaches the bridge, br_do_suppress_nd() will
dereference ipv6_stub->nd_tbl which is NULL, passing it to
neigh_lookup(). This causes a kernel NULL pointer dereference.

 BUG: kernel NULL pointer dereference, address: 0000000000000268
 Oops: 0000 [#1] PREEMPT SMP NOPTI

Fix this by replacing IS_ENABLED(IPV6) call with ipv6_mod_enabled() in
the callers. This is in essence disabling NS/NA suppression when IPv6 is
disabled.
