From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 249801360db3dec4f73768c502192020bfddeacc upstream. If construction of the array of policies fails when recording non-first policy we need to unwind. netlink_policy_dump_add_policy() itself also needs fixing as it currently gives up on error without recording the allocated pointer in the pstate pointer.
