'attrbuf' is malloced in genl_family_rcv_msg() when family->maxattr &&
family->parallel_ops, thus should be freed before leaving from the error
handling cases, otherwise it will cause memory leak.

Introduced by commit def3117493eafd9dfa1f809d861e0031b2cc8a07
(genl: Allow concurrent genl callbacks.)
