Subject: [PATCH 5.10 084/158] net: genl: fix error path memory leak in policy dumping

From: Jakub Kicinski <kuba@...nel.org>

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.

Fixes: 50a896cf2d6f ("genetlink: properly support per-op policy dumping")
