[PATCH] backport: check for failure when allocating ops in genetlink

[PATCH] backport: check for failure when allocating ops in genetlink

[Luca Coelho]

From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

We were not checking if the allocation failed in
backport_genl_register_family(), which could lead to NULL pointer
dereferences later.  Fix that.
