xfrm6: fix uninitialized saddr in xfrm6_get_saddr()

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

xfrm6: fix uninitialized saddr in xfrm6_get_saddr()

xfrm6_get_saddr() does not check the return value of
ipv6_dev_get_saddr(). When ipv6_dev_get_saddr() fails to find a suitable
source address (returns -EADDRNOTAVAIL), saddr->in6 is left
uninitialized, but xfrm6_get_saddr() still returns 0 (success).

This causes the caller xfrm_tmpl_resolve_one() to use the uninitialized
address in xfrm_state_find(), triggering KMSAN warning:

Fix by checking the return value of ipv6_dev_get_saddr() and propagating
the error.
