rtnetlink: Fix error handling in do_setlink()
Commit c02db8c6290bb992442fec1407643c94cc414375:

Subject: rtnetlink: make SR-IOV VF interface symmetric
adds broken error handling to do_setlink() in net/core/rtnetlink.c. The
problem is the following chunk of code:
if (tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST]) {
struct nlattr *attr;
int rem;
nla_for_each_nested(attr, tb[IFLA_VFINFO_LIST], rem) {
if (nla_type(attr) != IFLA_VF_INFO)
----> goto errout;
err = do_setvfinfo(dev, attr);
if (err < 0)
goto errout;
modified = 1;
}
}
which can get to errout without setting err, resulting in the following error:
net/core/rtnetlink.c: In function 'do_setlink':
net/core/rtnetlink.c:904: warning: 'err' may be used uninitialized in this function
Change the code to return -EINVAL in this case. Note that this might not be
the appropriate error though.
