From: Quan Tian <redacted>
If nft_netdev_register_hooks() fails, the memory associated with
nft_stats is not freed, causing a memory leak.
This patch fixes it by moving nft_stats_alloc() down after
nft_netdev_register_hooks() succeeds.
Fixes: b9703ed44ffb ("netfilter: nf_tables: support for adding new devices to an existing netdev chain")
