libnetlink: fix use-after-free of message buf 

In __rtnl_talk_iov() main loop, err is a pointer to memory in dynamically
allocated 'buf' that is used to store netlink messages. If netlink message
is an error message, buf is deallocated before returning with error code.
However, on return err->error code is checked one more time to generate
return value, after memory which err points to has already been
freed. Save error code in temporary variable and use the variable to
generate return value.
