nl80211: check nla_nest_start() return value
Coverity pointed out that we might dereference NULL later if nla_nest_start() returns a failure. This isn't really true since we'd bomb out before, but we should check the return value directly, so do that. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
