Subject: [PATCH] rtnetlink: Fix an error handling path in rtnl_newlink()

When some code has been moved in the commit in Fixes, some "return err;"
have correctly been changed in goto <some_where_in_the_error_handling_path>
but this one was missed.

Should "ops->maxtype > RTNL_MAX_TYPE" happen, then some resources would
leak.

Go through the error handling path to fix these leaks.

Fixes: 0d3008d1a9ae ("rtnetlink: Move ops->validate to rtnl_newlink().")
