Subject: openvswitch: Fix an error handling path in 'ovs_nla_init_match_and_action()'

From: Christophe JAILLET <[email protected]>

[ Upstream commit 5829e62ac17a40ab08c1b905565604a4b5fa7af6 ]

All other error handling paths in this function go through the 'error' label. This one should do the same.

Fixes 9cc9a5cb176c ("datapath: Avoid using stack larger than 1024.")
