Subject: [PATCH 4/8] netfilter: nf_tables: free chain context when BINDING flag is missing

From: Florian Westphal <fw@...len.de>

syzbot found a memory leak in nf_tables_addchain() because the chain
object is not free'd correctly on error.

Fixes: d0e2c7de92c7 ("netfilter: nf_tables: add NFT_CHAIN_BINDING")
