From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email protected]>
In the rare case that when it is a attempted to use a per network device
netfilter hook and the network device does not exist the newly allocated
structure can leak.
Be a good citizen and free the newly allocated structure in the error
handling code.
Fixes: 085db2c04557 ("netfilter: Per network namespace netfilter hooks.")
