[ Upstream commit bc5b6c0b62b932626a135f516a41838c510c6eba ]
'protocol' is a user-controlled value, so sanitize it after the bounds check to avoid using it for speculative out-of-bounds access to arrays indexed by it.
This addresses the following accesses detected with the help of smatch:
* net/netlink/af_netlink.c:654 __netlink_create() warn: potential spectre issue 'nlk_cb_mutex_keys' [w]
* net/netlink/af_netlink.c:654 __netlink_create() warn: potential spectre issue 'nlk_cb_mutex_key_strings' [w]
* net/netlink/af_netlink.c:685 netlink_create() warn: potential spectre issue 'nl_table' [w] (local cap)
