CVE-2026-53227

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

net: openvswitch: fix possible kfree_skb of ERR_PTR

After the patch in the "Fixes" tag, the allocation of the "reply" skb
can happen either before or after locking the ovs_mutex.

However, error cleanups still follow the classical reversed order,
assuming "reply" is allocated before locking: it is freed after unlocking.

If "reply" allocation happens after locking the mutex and it fails,
"reply" is left with an ERR_PTR, and execution jumps to the correspondent
cleanup stage which will try to free an invalid pointer.

Fix this by setting the pointer to NULL after having saved its error
value.
