Subject: netlink: fix use after free in netlink_run_handler()
Patch-mainline: v5.10
Git-commit: 29b38ea218bd978d1950e12cc24da98215a1eeef
References: bsc#1178633

Valgrind detected use after free in netlink_run_handler(): some members of
struct nl_context are accessed after the netlink context is freed by
netlink_done(). Use local variables to store the two flags and check them
instead.

Fixes: 6c19c0d559c8 ("netlink: use genetlink ops information to decide about fallback")
