In get_initial_state, it calls notify_initial_state_done(skb,..) if
cb->args[5]==1. I see that if genlmsg_put() failed in
notify_initial_state_done(), the skb will be freed by nlmsg_free(skb).
Then get_initial_state will goto out and the freed skb will be used by
return value skb->len.
My patch lets skb_len = skb->len and return the skb_len to avoid the uaf.
