Subject: [PATCH] net: netlink: fix error return code of netlink_proto_init()

When kcalloc() returns NULL to nl_table, no error return code of
netlink_proto_init() is assigned.
To fix this bug, err is assigned with -ENOMEM in this case.

Fixes: fab2caf62ed0 ("[NETLINK]: Call panic if nl_table allocation fails")
