Subject: [PATCH] chain: Correctly check realloc() call

Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1778952
Upstream Status: libnftnl commit d95a703746d53

commit d95a703746d5394d56a9f464e343594e4882da0d
Author: Phil Sutter <phil@nwl.cc>

    chain: Correctly check realloc() call

    If realloc() fails, it returns NULL but the original pointer is
    untouchted and therefore still has to be freed. Unconditionally
    overwriting the old pointer is therefore a bad idea, use a temporary
    variable instead.

    Fixes: e3ac19b5ec162 ("chain: multi-device support")
