Subject: [PATCH] nft: Avoid memleak in error path of nft_cmd_new()
If rule allocation fails, free the allocated 'cmd' before returning to
caller.
Fixes: a7f1e208cdf9c ("nft: split parsing from netlink commands")
Signed-off-by: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>
(cherry picked from commit eab75ed36a4f204ddab0c40ba42c5a300634d5c3)
