Subject: [PATCH 5.8 114/124] netlink: fix policy dump leak

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@...el.com>

commit a95bc734e60449e7b073ff7ff70c35083b290ae9 upstream.

If userspace doesn't complete the policy dump, we leak the
allocated state. Fix this.

Fixes: d07dcf9aadd6 ("netlink: add infrastructure to expose policies to userspace")
