Yuan Chen 0abd1f48cd bpftool: Fix memory leak in dump_xx_nlmsg on realloc failure
[ Upstream commit 99fe8af069a9fa5b09140518b1364e35713a642e ]

In function dump_xx_nlmsg(), when realloc() fails to allocate memory,
the original pointer to the buffer is overwritten with NULL. This causes
a memory leak because the previously allocated buffer becomes unreachable
without being freed.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
