The function nfc_genl_llc_sdreq() can dereference the dev pointer while
it is NULL on its error path. Create a new error handling label to avoid
that.

This fixes the following coccinelle error:

  ./net/nfc/netlink.c:1175:21-24: ERROR: dev is NULL but dereferenced.

Julia Lawall sent a better fix that I applied:

-       if (!dev) {
-               rc = -ENODEV;
-               goto exit;
-       }
+       if (!dev)
+               return -ENODEV;

Cheers,
Samuel.
