netlink_sock_destruct() call cb->done() while nlk->cb_running is true,

if nlk->cb_running is not set to true in __netlink_dump_start() before return,

the memleak still occurs.

I do not think you can just move it after __netlink_dump_start(),
because cb->done() can be called, for example, in netlink_sock_destruct()
too.

[PATCH] net: genetlink: Fix memleak in genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit()

[YueHaibing]

dumpit info is freed by cb->done now (genl_lock_done()/
genl_parallel_done()), however if any error occurs before
cb->done is called, info and attrs will leak.
