[PATCH v2] thermal/lib: Fix memory leak on error in thermal_genl_auto()
From: Daniel Lezcano
Date: Thu Oct 24 2024 - 10:30:02 EST
The function thermal_genl_auto() does not free the allocated message
in the error path. Fix that by putting a out label and jump to it
which will free the message instead of directly returning an error.

Changelog:
- V2:
- Return when the allocation fails instead of going to the out
label resulting in a NULL pointer passed to nlmsg_free()
