   2 errors generated.

If macsec_fs_{r,t}x_ft_get() fail, macsec_rule will be uninitialized.
Use the existing initialization to NULL in the existing error path to
ensure macsec_rule is always initialized.

The other fix I considered was shuffling the two if statements so that
the allocation of macsec_rule came before the call to
macsec_fs_{r,t}x_ft_get() but I was not sure what the implications of
that change were.

Also, I thought netdev was doing testing with clang so that new warnings
do not show up. Did something break or stop working since this is the
second time in two weeks that new warnings have appeared in -next?
