3.2-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Mathias Krause <mini...@googlemail.com> [ Upstream commit c25463722509fef0ed630b271576a8c9a70236f3 ] When dump_one_policy() returns an error, e.g. because of a too small buffer to dump the whole xfrm policy, xfrm_policy_netlink() returns NULL instead of an error pointer. But its caller expects an error pointer and therefore continues to operate on a NULL skbuff.
