[PATCH v2] vxlan: fix a potential issue when create a new vxlan fdb entry.

From: Haishuang Yan <hidden>
Date: 2016-11-29 01:59:57

vxlan_fdb_append may return error, so add the proper check,
otherwise it will cause memory leak.

Signed-off-by: Haishuang Yan <redacted>

Changes in v2:
  - Unnecessary to initialize rc to zero.
