net: genl: fix error path memory leak in policy dumping
If construction of the array of policies fails when recording non-first policy we need to unwind. netlink_policy_dump_add_policy() itself also needs fixing as it currently gives up on error without recording the allocated pointer in the pstate pointer. Reported-by: syzbot+dc54d9ba8153b216cae0@syzkaller.appspotmail.com Fixes: 50a896cf2d6f ("genetlink: properly support per-op policy dumping") Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20220816161939.577583-1-kuba@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@kernel.org>
