Subject: [PATCH net] netlink: Fix off-by-one error in netlink_proto_init()

In the error path of netlink_proto_init(), frees the already allocated
bucket table for new hash tables in a loop, but the loop condition
terminates when the index reaches zero, which fails to free the first
bucket table at index zero.

Check for >= 0 so that nl_table[0].hash is freed as well.

Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2")
