Cong Wang b65ce380b7 genetlink: clean up family attributes allocations
genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() and genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_free()
take a boolean parameter to determine whether allocate/free the family
attrs. This is unnecessary as we can just check family->parallel_ops.
More importantly, callers would not need to worry about pairing these
parameters correctly after this patch.

And this fixes a memory leak, as after commit c36f055591
("genetlink: fix memory leaks in genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit()")
we call genl_family_rcv_msg_attrs_parse() for both parallel and
non-parallel cases.

Fixes: c36f055591 ("genetlink: fix memory leaks in genl_family_rcv_msg_dumpit()")

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
