    ipfilter: Fix NULL dereferences in ipf_checkicmp6matchingstate()
    
    Add NULL checks for ic6 (the ICMPv6 header pointer from fin->fin_dp)
    and oic (the inner ICMPv6 header from ofin.fin_dp after ipf_makefrip).
    These pointers can be NULL when processing malformed ICMPv6 error
    packets with extension headers.
    
    Also fix the length validation: the original check (fin->fin_plen <
    sizeof(ip6_t)) could never trigger because an earlier check already
    ensures fin->fin_plen >= ICMP6ERR_MINPKTLEN (48). Replace with a proper
    check that fin->fin_dlen contains at least ICMPERR_ICMPHLEN +
    sizeof(ip6_t) bytes to ensure sufficient data exists for both the
    ICMPv6 error header and the embedded IPv6 header.
