[PATCH 1/2] team: fix memory leak

[Pan Bian]

In function team_nl_send_port_list_get(), pointer skb keeps the return
value of nlmsg_new(). When the call to genlmsg_put() fails, the memory
is not freed. This will result in a memory leak bug. This patch fixes
it.

Looks good. Please adjust subject so the both patches have a specific
one. Also, please add "Fixes" tag (see git log for details).
Also, is is good to say which tree this patches are generated against
("-net")
