Subject: [PATCH] link: link_msg_parser(): keep link info instead of release
and reacquire
Calling release_link_info() will call io_free() for rtnl_link::l_info
was allocated just a few lines before as a side effect of
rtnl_link_set_type().
Apart from doing needless memory churn, this will also leave the link
with l_info set to NULL if the link type does not provide a io_parse()
function.
Assuming the memory leak mentioned in bfee88b8b0a9 ("route: fix memory
leak of l_info_ops in link_msg_parser()") was a double reference taken
by calling rtnl_link_info_ops_lookup() twice, once via
rtnl_link_set_type(), and once directly, replace the lookup() /
release() lookup() with a single lookup() and then reuse the populated
rtnl_link::l_info_ops pointer.
Fixes: bfee88b8b0a9 ("route: fix memory leak of l_info_ops in link_msg_parser()")
