[RTNETLINK]: Possible dereference in net/core/rtnetlink.c
another possible dereference spotted by coverity (#cid 1390). if the nlmsg_parse() call fails, we goto errout, where we call dev_put(), with dev still initialized to NULL. Signed-off-by: Eric Sesterhenn <snakebyte@gmx.de> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
