[lvc-project] [PATCH net] netfilter: nf_tables: Add null check for nla_nest_start_noflag() in nft_dump_basechain_hook()

The nla_nest_start_noflag() function may fail and return NULL;
the return value needs to be checked.

Found by InfoTeCS on behalf of Linux Verification Center
(linuxtesting.org) with SVACE.
