[ Upstream commit cd443f1e91ca600a092e780e8250cd6a2954b763 ]

Move up the extack reset/initialization in netlink_rcv_skb, so that
those 'goto ack' will not skip it. Otherwise, later on netlink_ack
may use the uninitialized extack and cause kernel crash.

Fixes: cbbdf8433a5f ("netlink: extack needs to be reset each time through loop")
