#1241290 — [PATCH] nfc: netlink: avoid NULL pointer dereference on error

The function nfc_genl_llc_sdreq() can dereference the dev pointer while
it is NULL on its error path. Create a new error handling label to avoid
that.

This fixes the following coccinelle error:

  ./net/nfc/netlink.c:1175:21-24: ERROR: dev is NULL but dereferenced.
