Subject: netfilter: nf_tables: fix potential NULL-ptr deref in nf_tables_dump_obj_done()

From: Hangbin Liu <liuhangbin@gmail.com>


[ Upstream commit 8bea728dce8972e534e6b99fd550f7b5cc3864e8 ]

If there is no NFTA_OBJ_TABLE and NFTA_OBJ_TYPE, the c.data will be NULL in
nf_tables_getobj(). So before free filter->table in nf_tables_dump_obj_done(),
we need to check if filter is NULL first.
