4.14-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Xin Long <lucien.xin@xxxxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit cd443f1e91ca600a092e780e8250cd6a2954b763 ]
Move up the extack reset/initialization in netlink_rcv_skb, so that
those 'goto ack' will not skip it. Otherwise, later on netlink_ack
may use the uninitialized extack and cause kernel crash.
Fixes: cbbdf8433a5f ("netlink: extack needs to be reset each time through loop")
