net: fix a potential rcu_read_lock() imbalance in rt6_fill_node()
[ Upstream commit 94f826b8076e2cb92242061e92f21b5baa3eccc2 ] Commit f2c31e32b378 (net: fix NULL dereferences in check_peer_redir() ) added a regression in rt6_fill_node(), leading to rcu_read_lock() imbalance. Thats because NLA_PUT() can make a jump to nla_put_failure label. Fix this by using nla_put() Many thanks to Ben Greear for his help Reported-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Reported-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <eric.dumazet@gmail.com> Tested-by: Ben Greear <greearb@candelatech.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
