[PATCH 5.8 114/124] netlink: fix policy dump leak

From: Greg Kroah-Hartman
Date: Mon Oct 12 2020 - 09:50:19 EST


From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

commit a95bc734e60449e7b073ff7ff70c35083b290ae9 upstream.

If userspace doesn't complete the policy dump, we leak the
allocated state. Fix this.

Fixes: d07dcf9aadd6 ("netlink: add infrastructure to expose policies to userspace")
