genetlink: fix possible memory leak in genl_family_rcv_msg()
'attrbuf' is malloced in genl_family_rcv_msg() when family->maxattr && family->parallel_ops, thus should be freed before leaving from the error handling cases, otherwise it will cause memory leak. Introduced by commit def3117493eafd9dfa1f809d861e0031b2cc8a07 (genl: Allow concurrent genl callbacks.) Signed-off-by: Wei Yongjun <yongjun_wei@trendmicro.com.cn> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
