Subject: [PATCH 4.9 45/66] tipc: fix a memory leak in tipc_nl_node_get_link()

4.9-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Cong Wang <xiyou.wangcong@...il.com>


[ Upstream commit 59b36613e85fb16ebf9feaf914570879cd5c2a21 ]

When tipc_node_find_by_name() fails, the nlmsg is not
freed.

While on it, switch to a goto label to properly
free it.

Fixes: be9c086715c ("tipc: narrow down exposure of struct tipc_node")
