netlink: Fix dump skb leak/double free
[ Upstream commit 92964c79b357efd980812c4de5c1fd2ec8bb5520 ] When we free cb->skb after a dump, we do it after releasing the lock. This means that a new dump could have started in the time being and we'll end up freeing their skb instead of ours. This patch saves the skb and module before we unlock so we free the right memory. Fixes: 16b304f3404f ("netlink: Eliminate kmalloc in netlink dump operation.")
