[PATCH net 2/2] openvswitch: check for null return for nla_nest_start in datapath

[Stephen Hemminger <stephen@networkplumber.org>]

The call to nla_nest_start when forming packet messages can lead to a NULL
return so it's possible for attr to become NULL and we can potentially
get a NULL pointer dereference on attr.  Fix this by checking for
a NULL return.

Fixes: 8f0aad6f35f7 ("openvswitch: Extend packet attribute for egress tunnel info")
