[PATCH 4.19 214/321] tipc: fix memory leak in tipc_nl_compat_publ_dump

[Greg Kroah-Hartman]

From: Gustavo A. R. Silva <gustavo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

[ Upstream commit f87d8ad9233f115db92c6c087d58403b0009ed36 ]

There is a memory leak in case genlmsg_put fails.

Fix this by freeing *args* before return.
