[PATCH] rtnetlink: Fix an error handling path in rtnl_newlink()
From: Christophe JAILLET
Date: Sat Oct 26 2024 - 10:18:15 EST
When some code has been moved in the commit in Fixes, some "return err;"
have correctly been changed in goto <some_where_in_the_error_handling_path>
but this one was missed.
Should "ops->maxtype > RTNL_MAX_TYPE" happen, then some resources would
leak.
Go through the error handling path to fix these leaks.
Fixes: 0d3008d1a9ae ("rtnetlink: Move ops->validate to rtnl_newlink().")
