[v2] drbd: Fix a use after free in get_initial_state

Commit Message

Lv Yunlong April 2, 2021, 7:07 a.m. UTC

In get_initial_state, it calls notify_initial_state_done(skb,..) if
cb->args[5]==1. I see that if genlmsg_put() failed in
notify_initial_state_done(), the skb will be freed by nlmsg_free(skb).
Then get_initial_state will goto out and the freed skb will be used by
return value skb->len.

My patch converts the type of notify_initial_state_done() from void to
int. So when errors occurs in notify_initial_state_done(), it can
return an error code. My patch also use err propagate the error and avoid
use the freed skb.
