Subject: [libnftnl PATCH] chain: Correctly check realloc() call

If realloc() fails, it returns NULL but the original pointer is
untouchted and therefore still has to be freed. Unconditionally
overwriting the old pointer is therefore a bad idea, use a temporary
variable instead.

Fixes: e3ac19b5ec162 ("chain: multi-device support")
