clang correctly points out a code path that would lead
to an uninitialized variable use:

security/selinux/netlabel.c:310:6: error: variable 'addr' is used uninitialized whenever 'if' condition is false
      [-Werror,-Wsometimes-uninitialized]
        if (ip_hdr(skb)->version == 4) {
            ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
security/selinux/netlabel.c:322:40: note: uninitialized use occurs here
        rc = netlbl_conn_setattr(ep->base.sk, addr, &secattr);
                                              ^~~~
security/selinux/netlabel.c:310:2: note: remove the 'if' if its condition is always true
        if (ip_hdr(skb)->version == 4) {
        ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
security/selinux/netlabel.c:291:23: note: initialize the variable 'addr' to silence this warning
        struct sockaddr *addr;
                             ^
                              = NULL

This is probably harmless since we should not see ipv6 packets
of CONFIG_IPV6 is disabled, but it's better to rearrange the code
so this cannot happen.

I thought we had talked about using an else-if statement like the one
below, is there any reason why you changed it to just the IS_ENABLED()
check?  I liked the idea of explicitly checking the IP header version
number before treating the packet as an IPv6 packet.

  else if (IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_IPV6) && ip_hdr(skb)->version == 6)

Ah of course, sorry for missing that important part when I revisited
the patch. I've sent a v3 now.
