openvswitch: check for null pointer return from nla_nest_start_noflag
The call to nla_nest_start_noflag can return null in the unlikely event that nla_put returns -EMSGSIZE. Check for this condition to avoid a null pointer dereference on pointer nla_reply. Addresses-Coverity: ("Dereference null return value") Fixes: 11efd5cb04a1 ("openvswitch: Support conntrack zone limit") Signed-off-by: Colin Ian King <colin.king@canonical.com> Acked-by: Yi-Hung Wei <yihung.wei@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
